Christ the King Eucharistic procession cancelled amid COVID surge
As cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to climb in California and across the country, the United in Christ Eucharistic procession scheduled for the Feast of Christ the King, Nov. 22, has been cancelled.
In a Nov. 19 statement, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Office of Life, Justice and Peace said that they had made the difficult decision to cancel “out of an abundance of caution to limit the spread of COVID-19 infections, and for the safety and well-being of our communities.” While the procession had been planned to take place entirely outdoors, with appropriate social distancing measures in place, the recent guidelines issued in California strongly encourage people to remain in groups of their own household, no matter where they are.
