VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis sent a video message to Catholics around the world, urging them amid the global coronavirus pandemic to hope, solidarity with those who suffer, and to prayer.
When the spread of coronavirus cancelled large gatherings across the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, parishioners and staff turned to Facebook, YouTube and Zoom to share worship services with parishioners and conduct meetings with co-workers.
With shelter-in-place orders in several Oklahoma cities and a safer-in-place order for the state, public Masses are suspended until further notice. The Sooner Catholic asks parishioners across the archdiocese, how the circumstances have changed or enhanced how they celebrate their Catholic faith.
