Archdiocese of Indianapolis Directives Concerning Celebration of Mass and the Coronavirus

Update: See newer statement issued on March 17

Masses throughout the Archdiocese of Indianapolis will continue to be celebrated at this time.

However, in response to the serious health crisis caused by the coronavirus, Archbishop Charles C. Thompson hereby dispenses Catholics in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass beginning immediately and continuing until further notice.

Members of the faithful who are elderly, particularly those with underlying health conditions, and those with a compromised immune system or who are ill are especially encouraged to take advantage of this dispensation.
