SALT LAKE CITY – In the Diocese of Salt Lake City, most Church activities and events except for liturgical celebrations have been canceled or postponed due to the ongoing pandemic. Diocesan officials are hopeful the coronavirus will be sufficiently curtailed by fall, so that the annual Pastoral Congress, which normally takes place in September, will be able to be held this year. In the meantime, they are encouraging Utah Catholics to avail themselves of several faith formation opportunities made available through the blessing of technology.
Those opportunities include participation in a Jan. 9 Virtual Day of Renewal being sponsored by the Diocese of Reno. Four workshops are being offered for $5 each. All four will be prerecorded, so there is no limit to the number of participants, and sessions can be viewed at the user’s convenience. Access will be provided beginning Jan. 9.
