All 70 parishes in the Diocese of Arlington are now able, but not mandated, to celebrate public Mass together at up to 50 percent capacity and consistent with all federal, state and local guidelines (e.g. 6-foot distance) and guidelines issued by the Diocese.

Bishop Burbidge will maintain the dispensation from attending Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation throughout the Diocese until further notice.

SUNDAY TV MASS FOR THE HOMEBOUND:  The Diocese of Arlington, in partnership with the Archdiocese of Washington, produces a weekly Sunday TV Mass filmed in the Crypt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Viewers can watch the TV Mass every Sunday from 10:30–11 a.m. on the DCW50 network. It is a wonderful ministry for those members of our Catholic family who are unable to be physically present with a local worshiping community for the Sunday Eucharistic Liturgy. For more information, visit: www.arlingtondiocese.org/tv-mass.
