The Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja on Sunday 10th August 2014, announced new procedures for worshipers at Masses to check likely spread of the Ebola virus.
The procedures which include the administration of the Holy Communion on the
palm of the faithful as against placing it on the tongue of the recipient, was
announced by Rev. Fr. Moses Jimbili, at SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church,
Nyanya.
Jimbili told parishioners at the church that the measure was a directive by
the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja,
His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, as check on the spread of Ebola disease.
Other change in the church’s practice was the stoppage of hand shake by
worshippers done during consecration of the Holy Communion as sign of peace.
