Updated Mass Guidelines

Dear Old Cathedral Parishioners and Visitors:

Archbishop Rozanski has communicated to pastors that beginning on Thursday, July 1, 2021, the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation has been lifted.  Please note, parishioners who are sick, homebound, immunocompromised, and gravely concerned for their health retain the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass, which has always been the case in normal times. 

Catholics in the Archdiocese of St. Louis should continue to be mindful of the requirements recommended by health officials.

Here are some additional important updates:

• Per the City of St. Louis, masks are required for all attending or visiting the Old Cathedral.
• Socially distanced pews are available on the side aisles for those individuals who are not vaccinated or choose to keep a six-foot distance.
• The distribution of the Chalice of the Precious Blood during Holy Communion remains prohibited due to direction from the USCCB until further notice. 
• A non-contact sign of peace continues to be recommended (head bow, wave, but no handshakes) amongst the congregation.
• Hand sanitizer will continue to be available for your use. 

The Old Cathedral is open
Monday-Friday from 6:45 AM to 2:00 PM
Saturday from 6:45 AM to 6:30 PM
Sunday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM
