The pandemic had already complicated Ash Wednesday services scheduled before this week s winter weather.
At St. Patrick s Catholic Church on 2nd Avenue, help arrived 45 minutes before the midday service to clear snow from the steps, ramp and walkways.
The pastor kept a 7:00 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. mass on the schedule, not knowing what turnout would be. We ll see what happens with the weather, Fr. John Hammond said. If anyone is able to show up [at 6] I will be here.
