Play from 0:00[0:00]" Good evening everyone I'm Ken McCloud with the swine flu shutting down some schools and creating concern across the country the Boston Archdiocese. Is making some changes to Catholic traditions. And is Jim Smith explains most parishioners seemed ready to go along. With respect to the holy water they talked about cleaning it more frequently and that sort of thing I think they're reasonable precaution. Parishioners head into Sunday mass at saint column killed church in Brighton. In many ways -- for a typical service but thanks to the H1N1 virus there are changes. No wind will be given during communion. The host will be distributed with limited if any physical contact and holy water will be frequently changed. The sign of peace will still be offered but no hugging -- shaking -- today it was. You know it's -- sort of hello how are you trying to keep.

It makes sense to me. There have been times when the Catholic Church has been accused of not reacting swiftly enough to changing times but this was apparently not one of them. These changes relatively speaking. Occurred rather swiftly I think it's a little some churchgoers believe the new policy goes a bit overboard and another says he'll keep giving -- hand in the holy water."

Play from 1:36[1:36]" Actual that it and I think a lot of people were -- important part of attending mass the archdiocese says the changes remain in effect until the cold and flu season is over. In Brighton Jim -- WABC news. Now the directive from the archdiocese also reminds the faithful but if they're sick. They should stay home under those circumstances they say they are not bound by the Sunday mass obligation."
