Holy Mass via Livestream

The English Speaking Catholic Mission is expanding its outreach to those who are unable to attend Mass because of CoVid risk or other health challenges by offering a Holy Mass each Sunday that is available through videoconferencing.

The Mass will be celebrated from the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at All Saints and participants will be able not only to follow the Mass, but also see and interact with each other as well as sing along at home with the musical accompaniment of our volunteer musicians.

If you are not already on the mailing list of the Catholic Academy Community, please send an e-mail to Fr. Leo Penta at entap5@gmail.com in order to receive an invitation to participate with log-in information. Those who are already on the mailing list will receive the log-in information with the usual weekly e-mail reminder. By adding your name to the list you agree to allow us to keep your name and e-mail on file. You can leave the list at any time by request. 

A reminder invitation will be sent every week to everyone who is on our mailing list.

We look forward to seeing you.
