LONDON- The National Bishops ’Council has decided to cut off public participation in Holy Communion in the churches of Britain starting Friday evening, March 20. But the shrine will be open for personal prayer at specific times. The new decision is based on the regulations laid down by the British government in the event of the spread of coronavirus. At the same time, the clergy will continue to offer personal sacraments. The decision to abstain from public participation will continue to be reviewed and the believers will be exempted from the church’s mandate to participate in Holy Communion on Sundays and on loan days.
