Churches around the state are preparing to hold weekly Mass indoors, as many have been conducting outdoor services to abide by social distancing restrictions.

Pastor Reggie Norman, of Our Lady of Fatima in Wilton, says his church along with the Diocese of Bridgeport have been conducting services outdoors.

Norman says he's doing everything to keep his church safe. He says he's marking off the pews for social distancing.

Norman says the church has been cleaned over and over again. He even has tape marks on the floor where people will go for communion.

 

Norman says it's important that people are able to celebrate in a safe way. He says the state is allowing 100 people in church, but he's going to limit it to 50.

He says the overflow people can go to the center next door or they can get communion in their cars, and also watch services online.

The Diocese of Bridgeport says churches can begin indoor Mass, including funerals and weddings, on June 13.
