Bishop Marty has been meeting online with his fellow bishops and the clergy of the diocese to develop our plans to resume in-person worship.

The meetings have aimed to determine the best course of action for the re-opening of West Missouri’s churches for ministry and public worship. The health of our members and church staff is of paramount importance. Our plans also need to take into account the different re-opening strategies of the various authorities and municipalities in West Missouri.

Bishop Marty expects to have completed this process and be ready to issue a new pastoral direction early next week.

Gary Allman is Communications Director with The Diocese of West Missouri.
