LEVEL 3 SNOW EMERGENCY GUIDELINES Whenever a county/city within the Diocese of Toledo is
placed under a Level 3 Snow Emergency, during which all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel, the Catholic Churches within that geographic region will cancel the scheduled Saturday Vigil, Sunday, or Holy Day Masses. Catholics in that region, therefore, are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass. If Masses are cancelled, Catholics are encouraged to participate in Holy Mass via television, radio, or internet, making a spiritual Communion. When Mass is cancelled, all other diocesan, parish, or school events in that geographic region are also cancelled.
HAVE YOU BEEN FORMED? It is a gateway to some of the best Catholic teaching
videos, books and audio talks to deepen your relationship with Christ and His Church. It’s all in one place, accessible on most devices! Access is easy. Register at FORMED.org, then enter the parish code: 9MFYXP. These materials are a great source of faith!
