During communion at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Northampton on Saturday, May 23, 2020, Father Francis Reilly, right, places a host into the open hands of a parishioner, instead of directly onto her tongue. Reilly and Father Paul Norman, left, offered communion to about 40 congregants under new social distancing procedures. After receiving the host, the communicant turns, walks six feet away, lifts their mask to take the host, then leaves the sanctuary directly through a side door - without returning to their seat.
