STATEMENT ON RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FOR VACCINATION AGAINST COVID-19

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles recommends that all members of the Catholic community who can receive a COVID-19 vaccine should do so. The Archdiocese is not providing individuals with religious exemption letters to avoid vaccination against COVID-19. Please see the information and links below to understand why the Archdiocese does not consider the COVID-19 vaccine to be morally objectionable and why it encourages all the faithful to get vaccinated.
“Receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccines ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good.” -USCCB, Moral Considerations Regarding the New COVID-19 Vaccines.
St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church, in line with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, will not issue letters of exemption in regards to the COVID-19 vaccination.
