L.A. archdiocese closes all churches in hopes of easing coronavirus danger
Church offices are closed to the public. Pastors may allow a minimal number of parish staff members to continue working in the office provided that social distancing is observed. For example, while the office is closed to the public, staff members can still answer phones, answer emails and process payroll. If these functions can be performed remotely from home, this would be preferred.
Pastors are asked to be vigilant in reminding parishioners and staff members to stay home if they are sick, especially if they have a fever or cough. Frequent cleaning and sanitizing of premises is advised. Parishes with bells are asked to ring them at noon and 6 p.m. as a sign of solidarity and hope, and to ensure the faithful that the church is present even if it has adapted the way parishes operate in these times.
