“It is with an abundance of joy and gratitude that I announce the first phase of the reopening of our churches to celebrate daily and Sunday Mass beginning June 1.
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains lifted until further notice, especially if you are part of a vulnerable population and/or have an underlying health condition.

While these protocols are intrusive, they are necessary as they allow us to celebrate the Sacraments in person while doing our part to help stop the spread of coronavirus.”
Please watch the campaign video and learn why now, more than ever, the Catholic Church in Vermont needs to move forward with the Christ Our Hope: Building a Vibrant Church campaign. We cannot give up on the future of the parishes and ministries serving the faith community. Many parishes have seen significant downturns in funding, and they need our help; requests for emergency financial aid have increased; and the need to strengthen our Catholic education and faith formation programs has never been more important.
This campaign offers a wonderful opportunity for parishes to use 60 percent of the funds they raise to address specific parish needs with the other 40 percent to strengthen our faith formation programs and expand emergency aid to people in need. To learn more visit: christourhopevt.org
