CONFESSIONS & EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
We expect in fall 2021 to resume regular Confessions in the Cathedral. A schedule of Confessions, Eucharistic Adoration, and Devotions will be announced later in the summer.

We hope the expanded schedule will meet the varied needs of our parish members, our “weekday” parishioners, and our many visitors.
One change from our pre-pandemic days is notable – we are not able to bring back the Sunday Latin Mass. For many years we celebrated the Ordinary Form of the Mass in Latin at 10am, staffed by our Schola Cantorum and a rotation of Dominican and Benedictine presiders. We continued the Latin Mass even as attendance declined. Over the past decade, and most recently two years ago, we made several attempts at increasing attendance, with little effect.
Some will be disappointed, but the decision not to bring back the Latin Mass was made with deliberation, keeping in mind and at heart the best interest of the parish at large. As has been our practice, Latin will be sung occasionally at all Masses, including the Spanish Mass.
