The First Sunday of Advent is upon us! Join on our YouTube channel for Mass! Come, Lord Jesus! Edit: We apologize, but we had some technical difficulties this morning. (This is a recording of our 4:30 PM Mass on November 28th.) https://youtu.be/eGNP9ETiNkQ

From all of us at the Cathedral, Happy Thanksgiving! If you didn't have a chance to join us for Mass this morning, it is available on our YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tSFmdZcuq4&t=115s

*** Update 11/25/2020 *** It's Wednesday... time to make your plans for weekend Mass!! Tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, we will celebrate Mass at 10 AM. (Please call to reserve a spot for this Mass as well.)... Unfortunately, due to the recent measures put in place by New York State, Saint Joseph Cathedral must limit its Mass attendance. As a Church, we feel that this is in the best interest of public health and that we should follow these new guidelines out of a moral obligation to the safety of others. *** To allow for a greater number to still receive the sacraments, we will be adding a Mass. Our temporary schedule will be as follows: Sat 11/28 @ 4:30 PM Sun 11/29 @ 9:00 AM Sun 11/29 @ 10:30 AM We ask that you please call the rectory at 854-5855 to reserve your spot at one of these three Masses. Please have ready the number of people (including yourself) who wish to attend. The 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday will still be available via http://www.youtube.com/SaintJosephCathedral Daily Mass will continue to be celebrated at 12:10 PM Monday through Friday. Reconciliation/Confessions will be by appointment only for the time being.

Join us soon (at 4:00 PM) for an organ recital featuring Makena James, a student at Houghton College. Love and Lullabies http://www.YouTube.com/SaintJosephCathedral/
