COVID-19 Pandemic

This collection includes coverage of the Diocese of Rochester’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which began impacting the U.S. in early 2020. This collection of articles includes world, national, and local news and features that address various aspects of the coronavirus pandemic on all aspects of life in the diocese.

Because the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was so extensive, coverage related to it can be found in all sections of the Courier’s website. Earlier coverage included in the collection focuses on the shift to online Masses and other ways of coping with the pandemic’s newness. More recent coverage focuses on re-opening and return to the new normal.
