Some Long Islanders are getting the chance to attend religious services for the first time since March Sunday due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Guidelines are in place to keep people safe, like allowing only one entrance to be open to the public and having someone stationed there to count the amount of people entering.

It's to ensure that the capacity does not exceed the 25% limit as per the guidelines. Every third pew is also open, and individual people can sit 6 feet apart or a family can sit together.

Catholic churches are closed in between each Mass for a deep cleaning with doors reopened for parishioners 15 minutes before the start of Mass.

St. Luke's Lutheran Church has not reopened, and Pastor Robert Weber says he wants to give his congregation time ease back in.

Most churches continued services virtually during the shutdown, but Monsignor William Koenig of St. Agnes Cathedral says it was still impossible to distribute communion.

Some churches have decided to hold off from opening this weekend until they figure out their plans on reopening, and are also continuing to stream or record their masses especially for those who may still not be comfortable attending in-person services.
