Title
Communion during a Pandemic
Narrative or description
During the shutdowns associated with the coronavirus, Catholics have been prevented from gathering for mass for many weeks. Although many people watch services online, there is no easy or sanitary way to receive holy communion. This photo, accompanying article in AMERICA magazine, shows a priest in New Mexico distributing the eucharist to people in cars. Although this practice is not common, it is a creative solution to a serious challenge in religious practice.
