News from Cardinal O'Malley

In light of these circumstances, Cardinal Seán is dispensing all Catholics in the Archdiocese
from the obligation of abstaining from meat during the remaining Fridays of Lent. 
The Cardinal encourages those who can partake of this traditional Lenten practice of abstention
to do so and to offer it up for those who are suffering in any way from the pandemic we are experiencing.

News from Pope Francis

Pope Francis presided over a prayer service on Friday, March 27th in front of an
“empty” St. Peter’s Square, which included scripture readings and adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament. At the end of the event, he offered the traditional Urbi et Orbi,
offering all who participate a plenary indulgence. (Learn more here.) 

Pray the Coronavirus Novena

We will start this Novena on Monday, March 30th. Please spread the word! While we face
the coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for God's healing, God's help
and God's protection.  We will pray for all who are affected, for all who are sick and suffering, for all those
who work in the medical profession, and for those who have died as well as for their grieving family members.
