The multiplication of Masses should encourage the participation of the faithful at the liturgy. The Latin December 16 decree claims a “worldwide spread of the pandemic.” It therefore grants the bishops to allow priests to celebrate up to four Masses on December 25, January 1 and January 6.
According to Canon Law, a priest may celebrate no more than three times a day.
