Faithful instructed to comply with health guidelines and protocols
The spiralling number of COVID patients in the district has forced religious institutions to modify their practices and adapt to changes induced by the pandemic.
Those heading such institutions said they have instructed the faithful to comply with health guidelines and protocols prescribed by the State government from time to time.
Most of the churches in the State have shifted to online Holy Mass and television channels run by churches are airing the masses at different times to suit the faithful, said Fr. Mathew Kilukkan, Public Relations Officer of the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese.
