Catholics flock to attend Mass

KUCHING — The conditional lifting of the ban to hold Church services has enabled several Churches in the Archdiocese of Kuching to reopen their doors to welcome back parishioners. There are however, strict guidelines to adhere to in compliance with government SOPs to ensure a safe environment for the congregation. This includes limiting the number of congregants to an initial 100 and expanding to a maximum of 250, depending on the size of the church. The faithful are to maintain social distancing of one meter, undergo temperature

screening, sanitise their hands and wear face masks. While some parishes adopt walk-in registrations to attend Mass, others like St Joseph’s Cathedral, Carmelite, St Mark and Blessed Sacrament Church opted for online registrations. Smaller parishes like Holy Spirit and St Jude resumed Sunday Masses on 21 June. Most city parishes reopened on the weekend of 4–5 July, while Blessed Sacrament and Holy Trinity reopened on 18 July. Meanwhile, Sunday Masses continue to be live-streamed from St Joseph’s Cathedral for the faithful who are

unable to attend Mass due to restricted capacity and special exemptions given. Ivy Chai
