Sacramental Directives
The following directives are being issued by the Archdiocese of Detroit based on Governor Whitmer’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order of March 23, 2020. These directives are in place through Easter Monday, April 13, 2020.- Parish offices are to be closed and employees, as they are able, are to work from home. Pastors should take precautions to keep their churches clean and open, if they are able, and available for prayer, especially for those interceding for the sick. Parishes should look for innovative ways to spiritually support the faithful, including livestreaming of Mass. Since the spiritual well-being of the faithful in this time is essential, a very small number (not to exceed 10) is permitted so that a quality livestream Mass is possible.
- Funerals and weddings are to be suspended during this time. Priests should coordinate with their funeral directors when families request the rites proper to funerals. Graveside services are still permitted provided they observe proper social distancing.
- Baptisms are also to be suspended during this time. Where there is a real danger of death, the person should be baptized in the hospital or home of the parents. In danger of death, the faithful should consult with their pastors.
- The pastoral care of the faithful must always be paramount. Therefore, priests should consider the best options for the celebration of private confession for those in dire need of the sacrament.
- Administering the Sacraments of Initiation to those in RCIA is to be postponed until a later date when the fuller community can be present. The Archbishop will determine a suitable time for the reception of these members into the Church
- In the case of an emergency, a person may at any time be baptized, confirmed or received into the Church.
