Two COVID-19-ravaged churches take different recovery paths
Author: admintech | Filed under: WorldThe paths of two New York City churches diverged this week — one reopened and one stayed closed. Saint Bartholomew Roman Catholic Church in Queens, where at least 74 parishioners have died from COVID-19, on Monday hosted its first large-scale in-person services since mid-March: an English-language midday Mass and a Spanish one in the evening. At Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church in Manhattan, with a death toll nearly as high, the pastors say it’s too risky to open any time soon.
