Area Catholics could be getting communion for the first time in over two months by the end of May. The Diocese of Green Bay released details of their plan for moving forward on Thursday. Catholic masses could head outdoors so people can worship in person and communion would be made available with the proper safety precautions. Pastor Daniel Schuster of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Luxemburg and Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Casco says this would let more people be a part of the mass than just those serving near the altar.
Schuster hopes to be able to hold an outdoor mass on Memorial Day at area cemeteries and offer communion on May 31st, pending any additional local or state decisions. The “Moving Kewaunee County Forward” plan allows churches to limit gatherings to 50 people or less and discourages shaking hands and using a communal cup.
