Updated face mask guidance. Los Angeles County has lifted the indoor face mask mandates beginning March 4, 2022 to align with California Department of Health orders. Locations may continue to require masking if they believe it is a necessary safeguard for their faith communities. As of today, masking is strongly recommended, but no longer required in most indoor settings, including houses of worship. The Counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara had previously revised their health orders to be consistent with the State orders and now the cities of Pasadena and Long Beach have also aligned with state guidelines. The Archdiocesan Catholic Center (ACC) and regional offices will likewise be in alignment with this new policy.
