COVID-19 and Worship

The directives of the Archdiocese indicate clearly that there is no obligation to participate in Sunday Mass at this time.  All the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit are dispensed from their Sunday obligation to attend Mass through Sunday, September 6, 2020.  Those older than 65 years, those with compromised health or preexisting conditions, and those who are caring for the sick in any way are encouraged to stay home.  Anyone who is ill, has a temperature, cough or other symptoms should definitely stay home as an act of justice to the whole community.   

As public Masses resume  at Sacred Heart Parish, please observe the following requirements when you participate in Mass.
