One diocese in Venezuela came up with an ingenious pastoral solution in response to having to close its church doors because of the coronavirus.
Instead of people coming to the church to receive Holy Communion at Mass, the Bishop of San Cristóbal asked his priests to take the Blessed Sacrament to their church porches to bless the city.
Bishop Mario Moronta asked his 150 priests on Sunday (22nd March) to ring the church bells at 12 noon and go out with the Blessed Sacrament calling on God to rid the world of the pandemic.
