The Sick NOT Bound by Sunday Mass Obligation
March 12, 2020
PORTLAND---The Diocese of Portland continues to monitor developments, stay in contact with health care officials, and review policies to ensure the safety of Maine Catholics as the situation regarding COVID-19 evolves.
The diocese wishes to remind the general public that if they are sick or already have any type of cold or flu-like symptoms, they are asked to stay home from Mass, both for their well-being and that of others. When individuals are ill, they are not bound by the Sunday Mass obligation (www.portlanddiocese.org/content/roman-catholic-diocese-portland-issues-flu-prevention-protocols).
When one is unable to participate in Mass because of an illness or due to an increased risk of becoming ill, there are still ways to participate in Masses on several platforms.

Welcome to St. John Vianney Catholic Parish
As members of God's Family, we are called to be active participants in the life of the Catholic Church. As a faith community, we are invited and guided by the Holy Spirit to develop, support, maintain, nurture and proclaim our faith through individual and communal worship, spiritual enrichment, and loving service to others -- based on Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
As you visit our site, you will see that we are a vibrant parish offering many opportunities for people to live out their Catholic Christian faith. There are activities and organizations for people of every age and almost every interest. We have a food pantry, a thrift shop, and a library. We have a very active Faith Formation program for all ages, numerous educational opportunities, social gatherings, and liturgical ministries, and that is just the tip of the iceberg!
Thank you for visiting!
"God commands you to pray, but forbids you to worry." -- St. John Vianney
