St. Mary’s Cathedral in Kingston, Ont., is live-streaming Easter weekend services so their parishioners can participate while abiding by social distancing rules due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Good Friday, churches and other places of worship across Canada are typically filled with parishioners. This year, parishes are going out of their way to make sure no one misses their local church’s Easter services. “We can’t postpone Easter.
We have to celebrate it. It is a key focus of hope,” says Father Shawn Hughes of St. Mary’s Cathedral. During one of the holiest days in the Catholic church, Father Hughes says they have been able to reach 800 people by live-streaming their church services this week.
