Priest gives sermon to an empty congregation. Parishioners replaced with images of themselves.

Dear First Parish Family, I saw this story yesterday and I was touched by the thoughtful and creative idea. Father Guiseppe Corbari pastors a church in Italy, and rather than live-stream in an empty sanctuary, he asked the church family to send in photographs of themselves. He printed them off and put them in the pews. I love the idea of having you in the sanctuary with me as we observe the physical distancing recommendations. Please send your photos to me (scott.cousineau@firstparishsaco.org). I would love to see your faces looking back at me on Sunday morning! Grace and Peace to you, Scott
