Irish Fest

Catholic Charities’ Irish Fest, which had been scheduled for Saturday, is switching to a virtual event because of concerns about the coronavirus.

“We have made the decision to consider the safety and well-being of our many patrons and supporters,” Catholic Charities said in an announcement. “For that reason, in lieu of our traditional in-person event, our coveted Irish Fest will now be virtual!”

Church services

Countryside Community Church, which is part of the Tri-Faith Initiative, will broadcast one service at 10 a.m. Sunday. Livestreaming will continue while the virus is still at a dangerous level.

“We have decided that the health of our congregation and the health of the Omaha community takes precedence,’’ said Eric Elnes, Countryside’s senior minister.

Temple Israel, which also is part of the Tri-Faith Initiative, will livestream a Shabbat service at 6 p.m. Friday and a study session about Passover at 9:15 a.m. Saturday. No 10:30 a.m. service will be held. A decision has yet to be made on the rest of the year.
