REINSTATEMENT OF THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND SUNDAY MASS The Dispensation of the Obligation to attend Mass will be lifted on August 15 in the Diocese of Green Bay.  In a letter to priests and pastoral leaders, Bishop David Ricken wrote, "As the number of cases associated with the COVID-19 virus continue to diminish in the 16 counties of the diocese, after much discernment and consultation, I have decided to reinstate the obligation to attend Sunday Mass effective on August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady into heaven."
