LA parishes take hybrid approach
LA parishes take hybrid approach to engage Catholics in pandemic Lent
Last year, the liturgical season of Lent was marked by an abrupt coronavirus-induced shutdown that forced parish life to go almost completely virtual in a matter of days.
This year, as the COVID-19 pandemic shows signs of starting to wane and churches reopen in steps, parishes across the Archdiocese of Los Angeles are turning to a combination of in-person and virtual events to prepare Catholics for Easter.
It’s an approach that, after a full year of pandemic, still keeps parish priests like Father Juan Ochoa on their toes.
