WILMINGTON, Del. – At Our Lady of Lourdes, the Rev. Steven B. Giuliano won t be using his finger this year to make the sign of the cross on the foreheads of his congregation for Ash Wednesday.
The changes don t stop there. Instead of saying Repent and believe in the gospel to each worshiper, he will say it once to the entire church while socially distant from the crowd instead of face-to-face. And the church won t be celebrating Stations of the Cross in person, instead, having parishioners watch online.
