Churchgoers can attend mass online


Faithful from afar: With fewer public gatherings due to Covid-19, people are turning to Facebook as a safer way to attend church masses.

KOTA KINABALU: Following the temporary suspension of church services for Catholics to help check the spread of Covid-19, churches in Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu and Penang have begun streaming live broadcasts of masses to the faithful via Facebook.

In Sabah, the Catholic Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu streamed the first of its masses via Facebook from the Sacred heart Cathedral yesterday. Among those who tuned in was marketing executive Sandra Michael, who said that being able to watch the evening mass live-streamed on her social media platform was “convenient”.
