On 25 April, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth released its latest Advisory on further easing Safe Management Measures (SMMs) for Religious Activities commencing 26 April 2022.  As such, with effect from 1 May 2022, in compliance with the latest Advisory, the following are general measures for our Church:

1. Cessation of Booking for Masses
There will be no need to book for both weekday and weekend Masses. With this relaxation, the faithful may choose to go to any Catholic church to worship.

2. Mass and Religious Activities for:

a. More than 500 persons
Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs (VDS) is still required for congregational worship services and other mask-on religious activities with more than 500 persons at any one time. TraceTogether will be used to verify VDS.

These Masses and activities are opened only to:
1. those fully vaccinated,
2. children 12 and below,
3. those medically ineligible for vaccination

b. 500 persons or less
Both the vaccinated and unvaccinated may take part in such activities.

3. Retain myCatholic.sg Account
All Catholics are strongly encouraged to still retain their myCatholic.sg account. In the event that we need to revert to the Booking of Masses, the myCatholic.sg platform will be used. The myCatholic.sg platform will continue to be developed to include other digital church functions beyond Mass bookings.

4. Safe Distancing in Church
There will no longer be a need for safe distancing in church.
