Pandemic puts squeeze on Jakarta’s parishes

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected parish life, particularly in Jakarta Archdiocese, with the Indonesian capital recording the highest number of virus cases in the country. This, however, has forced the archdiocese’s parishes to be more creative. Indonesia has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic which first hit the country in March last year. As of Jan. 4, the country had recorded 772,103 cases and 22,911 deaths. As of Jan. 3, Jakarta ranked first, with 189,243 cases and 3,316 deaths.
