Stoughton Life Teen is joining with the rest of the Archdiocese of Boston and the rest of the country in observing necessary standard precautions to protect the health of everyone during this flu season, especially with the risks related to H1N1 influenza. There will be several small changes being made at churches everywhere starting Saturday, October 31 that will help to keep people healthy in their interactions at Mass.

There have been many students out of school over the past couple of weeks now with colds and flu-like symptoms. The Archdiocese of Boston and Stoughton Life Teen would like to remind everyone that if they are ill or suspect they are ill with a contagious illness, they are not bound by the Sunday Mass obligation. They should remain at home and return to church when they are well.
