San Francisco, CA, USA. The information was shared on social media by NABO as well as members of the US Basque community: Aita Antton Egiguren, Basque chaplain, will celebrate Palm Sunday and Easter Mass online in Basque and English. Due to the Coronavirus, all gatherings and meetings have been cancelled including mass, along with those that would have included dantzaris, the choir, and klika planned this Sunday in the Basque community in San Francisco. Online mass can be followed live and also later on as the recordings are saved for those who cannot join in at the indicated time.
