HARRISBURG, Pa. — All daily and weekend masses in the Diocese of Harrisburg have been temporarily suspended in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Bishop Ronald Gainer announced Monday.
Additionally, all public liturgies and devotions have been suspended.
Bishop Gainer asked that all churches and chapels be closed, including all perpetual adoration chapels.
“Making this difficult decision to temporarily suspend Masses and close our churches was not made lightly,” said Bishop Gainer. “Rather, this decision has been made after careful discussions and considerable reflection on the advice being provided from healthcare professionals.”
A listing of live broadcasting and/or recordings of Masses from parishes throughout the Diocese is available on the Health Alerts page of the Diocesan website, www.hbgdiocese.org. Daily and Sunday Masses are also available from EWTN on Comcast channel 291 in the Harrisburg area, or online at https://video.ewtn.com/daily-mass.
