St. Patrick Cathedral Fiscal Letter - English
St. Patrick Cathedral Fiscal Letter - Spanish
_________________________
On Wednesday, April 21, 2021, Saint Patrick Cathedral was notified that Tarrant County has reached the 75% threshold of the population who have had COVID and/or have received 1 or 2 doses of the vaccine. For Mass we are now asking individuals/families to take the individual level of protection they are comfortable with by no longer requiring all to wear a mask. Social Distancing protocols of a physical distance of 3 FEET between families and/or individuals are still in place. If there is an increase of 20% in new cases, then the mask requirement will be reinstated. If you are more comfortable wearing a mask, then please continue to do so. We ask that masks and social distancing are required for Confessions, or for any meetings on the St. Patrick Cathedral campus.
There will be no shaming for those who choose to wear a mask nor for those who choose not to wear a mask. All parishioners, including those who are staff and those who minister, will comport themselves as adult Christians, examples of a generous and magnanimous adherence to the love and care for one's neighbor that the Gospel rightly demands.
In addition, Holy Communion can be given on the tongue should one choose to receive so accordingly. Normally at Sunday masses, a separate line for reception in this way will be set up. For daily masses, we will ask that all who would like to receive on the tongue to wait until others have gone to communion, and then come to receive communion. We will strive to accommodate all according to their preference for receiving Holy Communion. Please be patient and understanding with us. Thank you.

Call for Action on Advance Directives Legislation
The bishops of Texas through the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops (TCCB), with one exception, are calling on the faithful from throughout the state to contact their respective state senator and state representative to urge the lawmakers to support SB 1944/HB 3099 which reforms the Texas Advance Directives Act and to oppose SB 917/HB 2609 which eliminates the dispute resolution process.
The TCCB Action Alert details why it is important to support SB 1944/HB 3099 and to oppose SB 917/HB 2609 and how to make your voice heard with one easy click.

Bishop Olson Introductory Statement to USCCB Addressing Ethical Concerns on The New Covid-19 Vaccines
The Bishop-Chairmen of the USCCB’s Doctrine Committee and Pro-Life Committee in issuing this statement, after seeking sound counsel from reliable sources, are appealing to the Principle of Material Cooperation to assure the faithful that they are not objectively sinning by being immunized with these vaccines despite their morally compromised and distant origins in connection with the grave evil of abortion. The Principle of Material Cooperation is a long-standing and trustworthy principle in...
