You can
watch services on TV. Most dioces have been aring mass for shut ins for ever, and the Pope may even be as St. Peters square is closed. One local church set up a jumbotron in it's parking lot, and parishioners can go and tune their car radios to a local AM station.
My mother inlaw told me on Christmas eve that no one goes to mass anynmore. They are in their 80's, and it's hard for her to go anyplace alone. She only drives a few blocks to the store now. Dad has never been a church goer. He's a bit like John Walton on the Waltons. When he does go he falls asleep, and gets upset at the race to leave the parking ot afterward. My folks took us every Sunday, and mom said it was disrespectful to walk in after the gospel, or leave after communion before the closing. We pray in our own church. Quiet solace inside or out. I had no choice for years as I worked many weekends. I often worked until 6 p.m. Saturdays, and mass was either 4:30 or 6. Then I'd be back at work by 9 a.m. Sunday, and the last mass was 5:30. Now they have only a 10, or 11, a.m.
I'm sure a lot of folks don't go because of the scandals, and there is a lot of hypocracy in many churches

If you’re looking to watch mass, our grouping of 6 parishes of St. Alphonsus, St. Ann, St. Columbkille, St.Michael, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Patrick,(known as grouping 329 until our merger on July 1) has a YouTube channel and mass has been recorded daily during the quarantine at Our Lady of Lourdes, a beautiful mid century church built in 1956

Thank you Tom!
Happy Passover to you as well.
I have a delayed celebration with my new neighbors, they've never had Christmas pudding and I always got Matzos from my childhood friend David at Passover, so we made a deal I'm having them for pudding and they are gonna supply my Matzo habit ( with butter of course !) We just have to delay a bit!
Oh and by the way, David and I are talking again, its wonderful!

Happy Holy Days for all. EWTN is my channel for tuning into Mass.

I just looked at the church's website and they will be live streaming on facebook. If anyone's interested, it's an old pre-Civil War Episcopal church. It's absolutely beautiful inside, especially when decked out for Christmas or Easter. They have a virtual tour online.

Greg,
That's a beautiful church; I remember going past it many times when on BR US 43. It was nice to see pics of the interior.

I love going there. It just feels special. It has that special smell from all the years of candles and incense. I'm not officially Episcopalian (nondenominational Charismatic) but I've been attending services there for many years. My best friend ended up there too for the same reasons I have...it has a peaceful reverence we can't find in our previous mega churches. Tom, you would have driven right by my neighborhood. We live close to Columbia Academy behind the hospital.
Greg, I was hoping to take a trip to see my relatives in MS this Spring, but that's now on hold due to the virus. I've not been for almost 7 years. I remember going past Maury Reg. Hosp. too.
I stayed in Columbia several times at Baymont (former Jameson Inn). It was so nice when new, but wasn't up to par the last time.
