The Diocese of Dallas has released a decree outlining the way in which its 77 churches will incrementally open to welcome back the 1.3 million Catholics in the 9 counties it serves. Taking into consideration the recent guidance of civil and health authorities, and with the unanimous support of the bishop’s priest leadership council, the Diocese of Dallas will begin the process of opening in phases, allowing for the ability to re-evaluate the process as necessary in order to ensure the health and safety of the community. This process will occur in four phases, with each phase building upon the last.

DECREE FROM THE DIOCESE OF DALLAS

Introduction 

On April 29, 2020, I issued a decree which began the first phase of the diocesan reopening plan. As indicated at that time, the opening of the Diocese is to occur in four phases. These phases are presented again here for reference.

• PHASE ONE: Scheduled Confessions may resume with strict social distancing guidelines; the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) for adults and children who had been preparing for the Easter sacraments but have gone without reception into the Church due to this pandemic as well as for infants can continue in limited numbers; and religious celebrations for families (weddings, Ordinations, Funeral Masses, Quinceañeras, etc.) may begin in small groups.

• PHASE TWO: The celebration of public daily Masses may resume, with protocols to ensure limited and restricted attendance in keeping with distancing and safety protocols as presented by and following civil and health authorities.

• PHASE THREE: The celebration of public Sunday Masses may resume, with limited and restricted attendance increasing over time, as presented by and following civil and health authorities. Even when Sunday Mass is available, the Faithful will remain dispensed from any obligation to attend Mass on Sunday because of the continuation of restricted attendance.

• PHASE FOUR: The celebration of Sunday Masses at full capacity may resume, with a return to a state resembling Catholic life before the beginning of the pandemic.

This decree addresses the implementation of Phase Two. At this point, taking into consideration the health, well-being and spiritual needs of the Diocese of Dallas, as well as the advice and guidelines presented by civil authorities, I will begin the implementation of Phase Two. There is currently no scheduled date for Phase Three.

Phase Two

• Gathering and Seating Requirements: Groups may not exceed 25% of total listed capacity for church buildings and all social distancing requirements (six feet of separation) must be strictly followed when individuals are present in church buildings.

• The church building must be diligently cleaned and disinfected. Pastors must train or have trained all employees, volunteers on appropriate cleaning and disinfection, hand hygiene, and respiratory etiquette. Additional protocols for this are forthcoming, but diligent cleaning must occur after every gathering or event.

• All Diocesan Safe Environment protocols remain strictly in place.

• Please see the following guidelines from the Governor’s Office as well as guidelines from respective counties for additional information.

• Weekend Masses (Saturday and Sunday) remain suspended during this phase. Sunday Masses and other devotions will continue to be livestreamed. In addition to parishes, the Diocese continues to broadcast live Masses and recorded events on the Diocese of Dallas website and local television. During such Masses, there will be an act of spiritual communion.

• All Catholics of the Diocese of Dallas remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass “on Sundays and other holy days of Obligation” (canon 1247). The requirement to receive communion during the Easter season (canon 920) may be fulfilled at another time during the year.

• Public weekday Masses (Monday through Friday) may continue on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. These weekday Masses are limited to one Mass per day per parish at 25% of building capacity.  If a pastor or other priest feels unable to personally celebrate weekday Mass, priests from other parishes (ideally in his Deanery) can be asked by the Pastor to celebrate Masses where necessary.

• Members of vulnerable populations are strongly encouraged to not attend Mass at this time. Those who are presenting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should not attend Mass..

• Those attending Mass are strongly encouraged to wear proper face coverings, following local civil orders where appropriate.

•  The celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation as well as First Communion celebrations may resume at the discretion of the pastor. This includes all celebrations that have been delayed as a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Priests are permitted to celebrate a weekday Mass as well as a Mass for Baptism or Confirmation on the same day, for a total of two Masses per day.

• The Anointing with Chrism during Confirmation is to be done directly with the hand. Those approaching to be confirmed should maintain a distance of two pews between individuals to ensure safe distancing. Candidates and priests administering the sacrament should consider wearing face coverings. All pastors are expected to personally celebrate Confirmations and will be granted the appropriate delegation.

• These celebrations may include the presence of families and guests, so long as the Gathering and Seating Requirements are maintained.

• Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is permitted at the discretion of the pastor. The church building may remain physically open at times during the daytime hours for prayer at the discretion of the pastor. The aforementioned Gathering and Seating Requirements must always be maintained.

•  Ordinations will take place in the Diocese with the presence of families and guests, maintaining the above Gathering and Seating Requirements. This includes ordinations to the diaconate (transitional and permanent) and the priesthood.

• Weddings, including Convalidations, may continue with families and guests at the discretion of the pastor. The above Gathering and Seating Requirements must be maintained; the total number present may not exceed 25% of the total listed capacity for the church building.

• Quinceañeras may also continue with the presence of families and guests at the discretion of the pastor under the Gathering and Seating Requirements; the total number present may not exceed 25% of the total listed capacity for the church building.

• Funeral services, including Funeral Masses, Wakes and Viewings may continue with families and guests. The Gathering and Seating Requirements must be maintained.

• Scheduled Confessions may continue with a schedule determined by the pastor. The pastor must diligently ensure that social distancing is maintained and that large groups do not gather while waiting in line for Confession. Confessions are encouraged to take place in open spaces, even outside the church building, while always providing the option for privacy and anonymity.

• Perfect Contrition: Even if Confession may be available in a location in the Diocese, not all of the Faithful will feel safe in approaching the sacrament at this time. Therefore, the Diocese has published a resource on Perfect Contrition that should be helpful to the Faithful who are unable to seek the Sacrament of Confession. It is located here. Perfect Contrition “obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to Sacramental Confession as soon as possible.”

• All other parish gatherings are to remain cancelled at this time.

• Communion as Viaticum, Anointing of the Sick and Confession are to be given in danger of death where possible. In the event where COVID-19 is indicated, please contact the emergency number (469-401-7717).

• The Pastoral Center remains closed. The opening process is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2020. Sacramental services (including the work of the Tribunal) remain functioning.

• Parish Offices may continue to be opened at the discretion of the pastor, who is to make sure that all safety and social distancing guidelines are met for employees and volunteers as described in the diocesan re-entry protocols, which have been provided to pastors and business managers

• Diocesan schools will remain closed, and e-learning is to continue until further notice

If you know of someone who has a serious condition or is having surgery and you would like to have their name put in the bulletin for prayers, please contact Debbie at the church office at 972-442-2765 or email debbie@saint-anthony.com   Please note:  Your request will only be fulfilled for the following week's bulletin.  If you would like your request to appear again, you will need to resubmit your request each week by noon on Monday.  Saint Anthony will make every effort to meet all parishioners prayer requests.

Regarding the Inability to Receive Sacramental Reconciliation:

Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by votum confessionis, that is, by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones (cf. CCC, no. 1452).

Never before has the Church experienced thus the power of the communion of saints, raising to her Crucified and Risen Lord her vows and prayers, especially the Sacrifice of Holy Mass, celebrated daily, even without the presence of the people, by priests.

Like a good mother, the Church implores the Lord that humanity may be freed from such a scourge, invoking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy and Health of the Sick, and of her Spouse Saint Joseph, under whose patronage the Church has always walked the world.
 

May Mary Most Holy and Saint Joseph obtain for us abundant graces of reconciliation and salvation, in attentive listening to the Word of the Lord, which he repeats to humanity today: “Be still and know that I am God” (Ps 46: 10), “I am with you always” (Mt 28 :20).

Given in Rome, from the seat of the Apostolic Penitentiary, on March 19, 2020.
 

Until individual reconciliation is possible, please do the following for forgiveness of sins:
 

1. i) Speak to God, express your love for him and his Son, Jesus;
2. ii) Pray for genuine, loving contrition for your sins;
3. iii) Enumerate your sins silently;
4. iv) Ask for forgiveness for your sins;
5. v) Say an Act of Contrition;
6. vi) Promise with true intention to confess your sins to a priest as soon as you are able.
