The Committee on Divine Worship of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has released some guidelines for worship in light of concern about swine flu.
Locally, the Archdiocese of Boston has contacted pastors, drawing particular attention to numbers 7, 8 and 9 in the USCCB document.
Careful attention to hygiene and common sense are the watchwords of the day - as they should be every day!
Despite its name, this strain of swine flu isn't spreading from direct contact with pigs or pork, but rather it is being transmitted among humans.
(For more on the science of this flu, see this Scientific American post.)
