This document presents a summary of the  questions and answers from the webinars on the Framework Document for a Return to Public Celebrations of the Mass and the Sacraments.

Bishop Brendan chats to Joe Nash about the re-opening of Churches for Public Masses and the Sacraments and the human side of being a faith community in lock down.

Bishop Leahy said that opening for masses is a major undertaking for parishes and will have challenges such as people being unable to get access due to some churches being deemed ‘full’ with 50 people under current guidelines.

This document, published by the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, is intended to support Dioceses and Parishes in their preparations for a return to the public celebration of Mass and the Sacraments.
