Over the past few days, we have seen a dramatic increase in cases of COVID-19 in the state of Missouri and across our nation. Levels of hospitalization and mortality have also seen a sharp increase. Upon the advice of the Diocesan Pandemic Task Force, I strongly encourage communities of faith that make up the Diocese of Missouri to return to either a virtual or a hybrid model of worship (10 or less people gathering in worship spaces) during this significant spike in COVID-19 cases. At its September 12 meeting, Diocesan Council allocated emergency funds to assist our parishes and missions with the cost of purchasing equipment for livestreaming worship services. Bishop Deon Johnson is forming a team to act as advisors and to provide guidance in determining the diocesan response to COVID-19. Bishop Deon Johnson announces that effective September 15, 2020, in-person worship may resume within the Diocese of Missouri provided that the guidelines set forth in this document are satisfied, including the submission of regathering plans for review. Already submitted plans may be updated to reflect the new requirements.
