WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) - Leaders of Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston say they’re working on plans to resume public mass ceremonies, church officials said Tuesday.
The diocese released a statement saying it is establishing a series of recommendations for parishes to use before in-person services resume in the state. The parishes will then have to submit an action plan to be approved by Bishop Mark Brennan before public masses can be held.
Gov. Jim Justice has previously said churches can reopen as soon as Sunday if they follow social distancing measures.
The diocese’s news release said its live-streamed services will still continue.
