WINONA, Minn. – Catholics in the Winona-Rochester Diocese, which stretches border to border across southern Minnesota, are again obligated to attend Mass, said Bishop John Quinn. The Covid pandemic is sufficiently in retreat that dispensation for non-participation will no longer be issued, he said. Skipping weekend services has been allowed since March 2020 with some parishes offering live-streamed services. In the southwest Wisconsin diocese of LaCrosse, Bishop William Patrick Callahan issued a similar announcement.
