Last April, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield marked Easter morning with the ringing of steeple bells as Masses were suspended and churches closed mid-way through Lent by the diocese in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Practicing Catholics in the four counties of Western Massachusetts that the diocese covers were advised at the time that Bishop Mitchell Rozanski would celebrate the televised “Chalice of Salvation” Mass Easter Sunday on WWLP Channel 22.
