Archbishop Perez has issued guidance on the winter storm and the Sunday Mass obligation. You can read the Archbishop’s full statement here:

In part it reads:
“While the obligation to attend Holy Mass on Sunday remains, if the weather impedes people from attending Mass safely, especially the elderly, then they should remain at home. A good alternative is to attend the Saturday evening Anticipated Mass ahead of the storm.”
Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to attend the 5:15pm Vigil Mass on Saturday at Presentation BVM Church before the storm starts.
