“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad!” Click here to read our Bishop's full Easter Letter!

Plan now to join your faith family in prayer, especially during the holiest time of our Church Year. Holy Week begins on Passion (Palm) Sunday and concludes with the Feast of the Lord’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday. We will have Morning Prayer at 9am at the Cathedral on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday begins at 7pm at the Cathedral. The Liturgy of the Passion of the Lord on Good Friday will be at 3pm at the Cathedral, followed by the Sacrament of Penance until all are heard. The Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday begins at 8pm at the Cathedral (Note: no 4pm Mass that day). Masses on Easter Sunday morning are at 8am at the Cathedral and 9:30am at Notre Dame and 11am at the Cathedral. It is a wonderful time of grace and mercy. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil Masses and Morning Prayer will be livestreamed at www.rcdony.org/livestream. As usual, the 8am Sunday Masses will be livestreamed as well.

For 2021, Bishop LaValley has chosen the theme, "A Lent Like No Other." We have created a special page on the website, with ideas and suggestions on how to make Lent 2021 -- our second pandemic Lent -- especially meaningful for our parishioners. Please click the button above left.

Please join us for Stations of the Cross, each Friday at 7 pm at the Cathedral. Covid protocols will be observed. Also, during Lent, an 8 am Mass will be offered each Saturday morning at Notre Dame Church. Please join us!

2020 Contribution Statements Please call the office if you would like to receive your 2020 statement. These statements will not be mailed out unless there is a specific request. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous support throughout a very difficult 2020, not only with your weekly donations but with your support of the other critical collections we take up. God bless you all!

Adoration will begin around 11 am and conclude around 11:45 in order to prepare the Altar for Noon Mass.

Parish Mass Schedule Welcome back, everybody! How good that we can gather, with precautions in place, to worship God and celebrate our faith. Here is the Mass schedule for now: Daily Mass 6:45am Monday through Friday at Notre Dame Church, 12 Noon Monday through Friday at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Weekend Mass 4pm at Both Notre Dame and St Mary’s, 8am at St. Mary’s, 9:30am at Notre Dame, 11am at St. Mary’s. The two added Masses are to allow for social distancing. We want you to feel safe when you come to pray. Those in the same household may sit together; others, please maintain a six-foot distance. Wear masks, except when receiving Holy Communion. Use the hand sanitizer provided at the entryways, as you enter and leave. When leaving, please allow those nearest the exits to leave first. Maintain the social distance then, too. Any parish donations/tithes may be left in the baskets at the front and rear doors. We can do this! Thank you to everyone for your patience and cooperation.

We're so grateful to those who are maintaining their giving during this Crisis! Several have asked about dropping off envelopes at the Office. We are requesting that envelopes be mailed to the office at 125 Ford Ave. Our mail is checked daily, and all monies received will be kept securely and processed regularly.
