Rituals

Rituals are more than a routine. It printed indelible memories in us from birth to death- From baptism or dedication to birthday parties, holidays, family reunions, First Holy Communion, Prom, graduations, House blessings, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, and memorials. Rituals provide us a stable resource for connection and meaning-making (Imber-Black, 2020). Religious rituals bent but did not break during COVID-19. The pandemic had challenged the catholic church to find new ways to conduct liturgical celebrations, religious rituals, and holidays to accompany the faithful.
