Making a Healthy Christmas Mass Choice

December 21, 2021

The Covid situation has recently changed significantly for the worse! The current surge of cases, along with the fast spreading of the extremely contagious Omicron variant has raised the risk level a lot. I care about you and want you to both be able to celebrate Christmas Mass and minimize the chance of getting Covid. Here is some information to assist your choice.

You can choose to celebrate Christmas Mass either: (1) on TV/Internet, or (2) in person. Both schedules are found below.
Larger crowds at Christmas Masses (as compared to normal weekend crowds) increase the risk of in-person Christmas attendance. If you choose to attend in person, the 4 pm Christmas Eve Masses will likely be the most crowded ones, and the 10 am Christmas Day Masses will likely be the least crowded and thus safest ones.

(Please note: the city of Newton requires that masks be worn at Mass, as does Cardinal Sean, and for the safety of all, we carefully follow that requirement.)
