Paramount Church said Thursday it would cancel services, becoming the last house of worship on the island to do so.

All churches and synagogues in Palm Beach are closed for events and services because of the coronavirus outbreak.

On Thursday, Paramount Church became the last house of worship to say it would stop holding services. It will suspend its Sunday services until further notice, according to Pastor Dwight Stevens. “We will continue to post a new weekly sermon message each Sunday on YouTube at ’Paramount Church Palm Beach’. We also have daily Facebook & Instagram posts for updates and biblical encouragement,” Stevens told the Daily News.

On Wednesday, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Palm Beach announced an end to mass gatherings, which effectively closed St. Edward Catholic Church. A letter written by the Bishop of Palm Beach, the Rev. Gerald Barbarito, stating that all churches in the diocese will not be open for services or personal visits effective Friday, was posted on St. Edward’s website and Facebook page.

The diocese’s website contains links to churches within its jurisdiction that will maintain livestreams of daily and Sunday Mass services. In addition, the Diocese of Palm Beach will continue to televise Sunday Mass on WTVX channel 34.

The final closings cap off a week of announcements as houses of worship canceled services to reduce the risk of exposure to the virus.

The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea announced March 12 that it would cancel all events and services until March 27. Its rector, the Rev. James Harlan may have been exposed to the virus at a conference in Kentucky in late February. Harlan placed himself in self-quarantine out of caution.

On Friday, Royal Poinciana Chapel said it would suspend Sunday Worship and all programs through March 31.

“All of the actions that we are taking are based on our care for the people in this community,” Senior Pastor Rev. Robert Norris told the Daily News. ”We are trying to be proactive rather than reactive. ... We’re all in this big boat together and we’re trying to figure out what to do to keep it afloat.“

On Saturday, Palm Beach Synagogue posted a letter to its website, which stated it was suspending all synagogue activities until further notice, including for Passover, because of advice based on confirmed cases in the broader Palm Beach community.

Temple Emanu-El, New Synagogue of Palm Beach, and the Chabad House of Northern Palm Beach Island also made the decision to suspend services until further notice, citing Town of Palm Beach. New Synagogue later said it would not reopen for Passover services.
