As we celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Sacrament will be Exposed on the Altar between the 8:00am Mass and the 10:30am Mass. Please be conscious of this fact as you depart Mass after the 8:00 Mass and as you enter for the 10:30 Mass. An atmosphere of quiet and prayer should be observed as well as a genuflection towards the monstrance as you depart and enter.

The signers include Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori; Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington; Wilmington Bishop William Koenig; and the state’s four auxiliary bishops.

The Jubilee Year will offer the faithful opportunities to participate in various jubilee events at the Vatican and in their own dioceses. The great tradition of opening the Holy Door will begin when Pope Francis opens the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica on December 24, 2024. This is usually the first door opened to signal the start of the Jubilee Year. A Cathedral or popular Sanctuary of each diocese will also designate or open its Holy Door to allow the entry of pilgrims. The jubilee years also traditionally offer opportunities for reconciliation, indulgences, and other events intended to strengthen and revive faith. The overview calendar and tentative schedule for the Jubilee celebrations in Rome can be downloaded here.
