Easter duty extended

The Easter duty is that after being initiated into the Most Holy Eucharist, each of the faithful is obliged to receive holy communion at least once a year. This precept must be fulfilled during the Easter season  (from Easter vigil to Pentecost) unless it is fulfilled for a just cause at another time during the year (canon 920§1 and §2).

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, I decide to extend the fullfilment of the Easter duty until the solemnity of Christ the King on November 22, 2020.
