Dispensation from the Obligation to Attend Holy Mass
Bishop Edward M. Rice addressed a letter to the faithful of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau in late March 2021 regarding his decision to lift the Dispensation from the Obligation to Attend Holy Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.
However, with the distancing requirements in place by the City of Nixa, St. Francis of Assisi has permission from Bishop Rice to continue honoring the Dispensation until the city mandate is lifted.

Act of Spiritual Communion
When circumstances prevent you from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion, which is a source of grace.
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
