Masses in heavily Catholic Chicago are being made safer in the name of public health.
The city’s archdiocese is telling parishioners and church officials to refrain from physical contact during Masses and liturgies, including the Sign of Peace, during which congregants shake hands or embrace, according to a statement. The guidelines also suggest refraining from distribution of communion via the chalice and handholding during prayer.
