With the pandemic restrictions  being lifted gradually, local Catholic churches make plans for both streaming and in person services for the Triduum, although prior mass registration may be required. Also, Archbishop Etienne has granted a dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday and Holy Day Masses in person during the time of pandemic.

Based on a review of the info posted at local church websites, the traditional Easter food basket blessing is not as easily available as usual. Still, the following churches have schedules that include Easter food basket blessing on Holy Saturday, April 3, 2021:

• St. Louise, Bellevue – at 2 pm
• St. Margaret, Seattle – at 11 am, 12, 1 & 2 pm, “if pandemic restrictions allow”
• Sts. Peter & Paul, Tacoma – at 11 am, 12, 1 & 2 pm
