Some area churches are celebrating Christmas virtually, offering livestreamed services, and others are gathering in person while following COVID-19 health and safety practices.
For the parish of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Angola, there will be four days of celebrating the Mass of Christmas Day.
âFour days of Christmas? Not 12?â a parish blog rhetorically asks on its website.
The blog then goes on to provide a detailed description of Christmas worship options at St. Anthonyâs and St. Paulâs Chapel at Clear Lake that are being offered in response to COVID-19.
They are among many churches in the region that are coming up with creative options to allow for Christmas worship during the pandemic.
