2020 Year in Review
The pandemic led parishes to celebrate special liturgies, such as this Aug. 27 special Holy Hour at Saint Therese of the Child Jesus Parish to pray for the health and wellbeing of the people who work on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. As with all liturgies during this time, social distancing measures were observed.

SALT LAKE CITY When the novel coronavirus struck Utah in March, Bishop Oscar A. Solis implemented emergency measures in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, issuing a dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, suspending public worship in Catholic churches, canceling events such as the annual diocesan Lenten retreat, and instructing the Utah Catholic Schools to provide remote instruction rather than onsite.

Beginning in 1974, the March for Life has been held every year in Washington D.C. near the date of January 22nd, the anniversary of the
Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout the United States. This year the event was moved a week later because of the presidential inauguration on January 20th. The March for Life will start at midday with a rally at the National Mall, followed by a march that ends at the steps of the Supreme Court.
In the midst of the pandemic, the March is still going to continue as planned in Washington D.C. But there are also dozens of local marches happening in January to allow people to participate without taking the risks of interstate travel.
