Laudetur Iesus Christus! We have some important changes for Latin Mass Sunday March 15. Please read carefully as this effects everyone.

Due to Governor Cooper’s order about the coronavirus, Bishop Jugis has basically limited Masses to just 100 people (while canceling others). At St. Ann parish the normal Sunday Latin Mass at 12:30pm will continue with the following changes:

• St. Ann parish is limiting Sunday Masses to 100 people per Mass. After that amount is reached, the doors will be closed.
• For those unable to receive Holy Communion, Spiritual Communions are also encouraged by the Saints. Read here: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2020/03/a-catholic-survival-guide-for-covid-19.html

Dispensation to attend Mass is waived:

Bishop Jugis has issued a dispensation to all Catholics in the Diocese of Charlotte from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.  However you are still required to keep the day holy. Learn more here: https://charlottediocese.org/coronavirus-update/  (FYI – Bishop Jugis will issue offer a special Sunday Mass with a message you can watch here after 10:30am Sunday: https://www.youtube.com/user/DioceseOfCharlotte)

Alternate Latin Masses:

As of late Saturday night, the Diocese of Charleston still has a normal Sunday Mass schedule and Prince of Peace Parish in Taylors, SC has their normal 12 noon Latin Mass: https://www.princeofpeacetaylors.net/  (this could change so check the website or Diocese of Charleston)
