Holy Thursday: Bishop Malloy will live-stream the Mass of the Lord's Supper from the Cathedral at 7:00 p.m. Priests are given the faculty to celebrate this Mass in the parish church without the presence of the faithful. That condition is to be observed. The bishop urges the faithful to follow the liturgy by some element of live-streaming.

The Easter Vigil: The Bishop will live-stream and celebrate the Vigil Mass at St. Peter Cathedral at 7:30 p.m. Priests are given the exceptional faculty to celebrate this Mass in their own parishes, again without the people.
