Holy Mass + 6 feet distance + hand washing + pew sanitizing = Good for the Body and Good for the Soul
The public celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been suspended due to concern of the spread of the COVID19 to congregations, especially to the elderly, while attending Mass.
What if the Holy Mass could be celebrated publicly in such a way as to ensure Public Health and Safety?
Please visit our website http://www.restorepublicmass.com to see how easily and effectively a parish can implement safeguards to hold MORE (not less or no) Masses per Sunday
Our Bishops should insist that "Public Worship" be included in the list of existing "essential services", which include but are not limited to: grocery stores, abortion clinics, coffee shops, hardware stores, banks and marijuana dispensaries.
Our bishops should push back on the "maximum assembly in public spaces" of 10 as being arbitrary. It is illogical to allow 10 people into a Starbucks, but to limit 10 people into a parish that has seating capacity of over 1000!
Coronavirus is real and reasonable precautions MUST remain in place. The Dispensation from the obligation to attend Holy Mass remains in place. The elderly and vulnerable should stay home from Mass. Those who have anxiety should stay home. All of us should implement the good hygienic practices that we have learned. But Holy Mass must be restored in a prudent and limited capacity.

I started this simply hoping to find a few others who felt the same way about our parishes. It is truly humbling to see so many of you join this effort because this movement belongs entirely to the people who recognize the importance of the sacraments.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the number of people who have signed this and I never imagined this would reach so many. We are getting quite close to one thousand signatures and you are the ones who made that happen. If you could send the link to a few more people today I think we might finally cross that threshold.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause already. If each of you could pass this link to just a few friends, I think we might finally cross that hundred signature mark today. This momentum is entirely because of your conviction and I am just so grateful to be standing alongside you.

Either spacing people out with more mass times offered or drive up and the priest comes around with communion. It’s crazy to think that priests still held mass under penalty of death throughout history but not now when there are plenty of safe ways to do it.
I'm presently in a rural area with only 300 people in the down. They are not all Catholic. We have a large church to accommodate summer guests. We should be able to have mass We have enough space for everybody to have 25 ft between them.
I am willing to submit to all policies regarding safety measures but I am begging for The Mass and The Body and Blood to be restored to the faithful who WANT to come. Our Lord’s Body and Blood IS the source and summit of our faith—it MUST BE RESTORED!!
Please allow public Mass to be considered a necessary place to allow more than 10 people to gather. The faithful are willing to abide by guidelines that stricter than other "necessary" places of business. We want to be in the business of taking care of our souls!
I agree with every word written. To not have mass for the faithful is a sin. We need Jesus more than ever. Liquor stores and pot stores are essential but God isn’t. We need our shepherds to lobby for their faithful to attend mass.
I'm not catholic and I don't go to mass, But it is our God given right to worship who, what, where and when we may. The government has no legal right to restrict worship in ANY manner.

Spiritual communion is not the same kind of nourishment as actually receiving the sacrament of the Eucharist! We need to be able to attend Mass and receive communion, not despite the pandemic, but ***in order to survive it***.
