While people are spending more time on the internet amid the Covid-19 crisis, Myanmar’s bishops have turned to communicating with the faithful through online channels.
The restrictions on banning large gatherings including Masses and other church-related celebrations have forced church leaders to rethink their strategy.
Churches across the country have been closed for nearly nine months and church services continue to move online. Some dioceses broadcast daily Bible reflections, Eucharistic adoration and Divine Mercy novena prayers.
