Bishop Edward Weisenburger sends out a statement to all volunteers throughout the Diocese of Tucson:
"I strongly encourage all parish volunteers to be vaccinated and to wear masks while serving at Mass. If for personal conscience reasons you choose not to be vaccinated then I urge you to withdraw from volunteering until our communities pass through this latest surge. Care for Christ found in our neighbor, especially the vulnerable among us, is the critical motivation to take these important steps. May God bless you and keep you safe."
