Schedule of Masses

Eucharistic Adoration: A Holy Hour for Priestly Vocations takes place each Friday from 11:00 AM to 12 noon with Benediction at 11:55 AM in the Cathedral Church.

Penance
Every Friday: 11:30 AM to 12 noon in the Cathedral Church. Confessions are also heard by appointment; contact the Parish Office.

Sacrament of the Sick
In 1972, the His Holiness Pope Paul VI reminded us that this sacrament "is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as any one of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the appropriate time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived." Please inform the Parish Office about Parishioners who need this sacrament as early in the illness as possible.

Holy Matrimony
Please contact the Rector at least one year in advance of the date on which you wish to be married and prior to making any arrangements for a reception. The Diocese of Wilmington has a twelve-month preparation program for engaged couples.

Holy Orders
(Priesthood and Diaconate) and Religious Life
If you believe you have a vocation to priesthood, religious life or the diaconate, please contact Father McQuaide or Father Carroll, who serves as Director of Priestly & Religious Vocations for the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington.
