FILE - In this April 2, 2020 file photo, Don Angelo Riva celebrates a mass in an empty church in Carenno, Italy. The circle of contagion around the Italian priest couldn’t have been tighter, the pain of watching those near him fall to the virus no more of a spiritual assault. Within two weeks of sitting with his parents and a fellow priest at lunch, the Rev. Angelo Riva was grieving the deaths of both his father and the colleague who assisted him at three mountain parishes above Lake Como. As Easter approached, Riva prepared for his mother to die, too.
