Thus far, there’s been no indication of any widespread cancellations of worship services. However, Jamie Aten, a psychologist who is executive director of the Humanitarian Disaster Institute at Wheaton College, said it would be wise for faith leaders to start preparing for that eventuality.

Central, Louisiana — Buses and cars filled a Louisiana church parking lot for another service Tuesday evening as worshippers flocked to hear a Louisiana pastor who is facing misdemeanor charges for holding services despite a ban on gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A few protesters turned out, too, including a man shouting through a bullhorn against those gathering at the Life Tabernacle Church in the city of Central, where pastor Tony Spell has been holding services. Another demonstrator held up a sign reading: "God don't like stupid." ---CONTINUED---

Re: Churches & Other Religious Groups-CoVid 19
In my diocese Mass and all church groups and functions have been suspended. Some of the parishes are streaming mass. I read of another that was having Mass at the church but in the parking lot. They could tune in while sitting in their cars. I really liked that idea as one could be present but still respect the local officials request for social distancing.
The Easter Triduum is a very important week in my faith and it will be difficult for me not to be there. Up until a couple weeks ago I attended mass daily. Online or on TV is just not the same.
