COVID-19 updates for June 2021
- The wearing of masks is no longer mandated on the Sacred Heart campus.
Masks are still very strongly encouraged for those who are not fully vaccinated. - We will continue to have a "COVID Cautious" Section in the Main Church at weekend Masses. Anyone who sits in this section must wear a mask at all times.
This is a great option if you have children, are immunocompromised, or are just not ready to take off your mask! There are signs to help you find your way to this seating section. - Beginning June 26/27 (2021), the Archdiocese is removing all COVID-19 social distancing restrictions (where jurisdictions allow) and lifting the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass in person.
(Until then, we must maintain 3 feet of social distancing between households in the church and inside our other buildings.)
- The wearing of masks is no longer mandated on the Sacred Heart campus.

The Catholic Bishops are lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Archdiocese of Washington, and the Dioceses of Arlington, Richmond, Wheeling-Charleston, and Wilmington and reinstating that obligation beginning Saturday, June 26, 2021 and Sunday, June 27, 2021.
They welcome and encourage the Faithful to return to full in-person participation of the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith. This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus, another serious or contagious illness; those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility; or those with serious underlying health conditions.Full statement from the bishops about lifting the dispensation Message from Archbishop Lori about lifting the dispensation
Most Masses and special services continue to be livestreamed through the parish website (and sent to our Facebook page and YouTube channel) to ensure that the faithful maintain a spiritual connection with the parish.

Inclement weather policy
With Baltimore County schools being "virtual" this year, we have made some adjustments to the parish inclement weather policy. If Baltimore County, the Hereford Zone, or Archdiocesan schools are closed, Masses and parish activities will be cancelled — regardless of the time or improving weather conditions. If schools have weather-related delays, we will continue with Masses and activities as scheduled.
When in doubt, please check the Sacred Heart School website for school closing information and our parish website — or call the Parish Office.
