​Diocese of St. Petersburg Issues a Faithful Response to the Coronavirus

In response to recent concerns over the spread of Coronavirus, the Diocese of St. Petersburg has prepared guidelines for parishes, schools and families to help our communities to take the necessary steps for the safety of all. Our response is focused on prevention, precautions and prayer. Many of these guidelines are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocols and common-sense practices that are communicated regularly during Flu and Cold Season. We are closely monitoring communications from the CDC and will adapt protocols as needed. We are also praying in solidarity with those who are ill, public health officials and health care workers.
