The Archdiocese of Boston is requiring masks on all people attending public masses, weddings, and funerals from now through January 17, 2022. There is an exception for children under the age of 5. A designated area that respects social distancing must also be provided for those who wish to do so.
The Archdiocese of Boston has directed parishes to have a supply of masks for attendees who are unaware of the mask mandate.

Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light sleet during the afternoon, ice pellets in the evening, clear overnight.

This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
