While urging parishioners to safeguard the wellbeing of all by getting vaccinated, Bishop Francis Alleyne yesterday announced that Guyana’s Roman Catholic churches will be closed for public worship indefinitely and would meet virtually in a measure of solidarity with those who would be unable to attend gatherings due to new restrictions on unvaccinated persons.
“Our churches will be closed for public worship until further notice,” Bishop Alleyne said in a statement.
He noted that the most recent order gazetted by the government included a measure stipulating that persons accessing public spaces, including places of worship, need to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative PCR test result.
