Boston Archdiocese Says Mass Will Look Different As Churches Reopen
Social distancing and other safety measures will require changes in the way Mass is celebrated at Catholic churches.
BOSTON – For many weeks now, churches and places of worship have stood empty and quiet. But prayer hasn’t stopped.
“I’ll be honest, I’ve learned more about the digital media world in two months than I knew in 20 years," said Fr. John Currie, who leads three parishes in Dorchester and Roxbury. "But it’s good, it’s been a great way to connect spiritually.”
As places of worship prepare to reopen in Phase 1, the Archdiocese of Boston created a video to show some of the ways Mass will look different: staggered arrivals and exits, socially distant pews and no sign of peace or hymnals.
