Several Members of the clergy team at St. James Parish have been contacted that they were exposed to the coronavirus. Parish officials say that while none of them are experiencing any symptoms of the virus, they are following CDC guidelines and are quarantining out of an abundance of caution. Officials say Masses and all other scheduled activities in the parish will continue as usual. Church officials also tell WJPA News that the coronavirus exposure did not take place at the church, but rather, at a meeting outside of the facility. Officials say St. James Parish is comprised of Immaculate Conception and St. Hilary Churches in Washington and Sacred Heart Church in Claysville.
