Area churches are stepping up to show their support for healthcare workers during the pandemic. What started as a parishioner's idea has now turned into a community-wide ritual. Every evening at 7 p.m., St. Mary churches show their support for healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic by ringing church bells. Churches that do not have bells wrote a message on signs to show support. According to the Ohio Department of Health, as of today, 628 of the confirmed coronavirus cases include healthcare workers. Churches wanted to honor those people that risk contracting the virus every day to keep others healthy for all of the hard work.
