For the second straight Sunday, the pastor of a church in Worcester held an indoor church service for more than the limit of 10 people allowed by the governor's order.
Worcester's city manager says Pastor Kris Casey will be fined $300.
A Worcester pastor who city officials say will be fined $300 for holding a church service for more than 10 people Sunday could be fined $500 for a subsequent offense or even jailed if he does it again, according to guidelines issued by the state.
Pastor Kris Casey held a church service for several dozen people on Sunday, May 3 at Adams Square Baptist Church in Worcester, against a March 23 executive order from Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker limiting most public gatherings to 10 people. The order applies to what it calls "faith-based" events, among others.
