NOTICE:

Effective immediatly the Bishop of the Diocese of Nashville, Bishop Spalding, has cancelled all public celebrations of Mass and all other gatherings including Penance Services through April 3rd.

Current Cathedral Guidelines:

We will not be celebrating Mass at any of our usual times per the Bishop’s directive. The doors will continue to be open during what would be our Mass times for anyone who would like to come to the church to pray. As usual, you may always ring the bell at the side door of the church and request to be let into the church during the hours of 8:30 – 3:30, i.e. weekdays when the office is open.
We will continue celebrating Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The church seats 700, so it should be easy to maintain “social distancing” of at least six feet. Our current times for Adoration are 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
We will continue to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. during Lent and Saturdays 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. One adjustment we are making is that “face-to-face” confession will not be available. For the protection of the priests, everyone will be asked to “go behind the screen.”
We will honor all the Baptisms that already have been scheduled, but encourage families to consider postponing for the safety of your babies and perhaps grandparents and any other “older” family members who might attend.
We will honor the weddings that have been scheduled during these few weekends. Lindsey Stamps in our office is speaking with all the couples who presently have weddings scheduled and assisting them with their options. Most have already cancelled/postponed on their own.
Should we need to have a funeral, we will work with the funeral home and the family about how best to proceed.
