Archbishop Prayer Service - Friday, April 3

I would like to share this opportunity for our parishioners to join in prayer with the Archbishop this Friday, April 3 at 4:00 pm.   At that time, Archbishop Carlson will offer a prayer service at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis for an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The private ceremony will include the blessing of a new crucifix, a reflection from Archbishop Carlson and private prayer in front of the exposed Blessed Sacrament. Archbishop Carlson will also give an Apostolic Blessing which includes a plenary indulgence. This service will be live-streamed on the  Cathedral Basilica’s website. 

The new crucifix will become a permanent fixture of the cathedral as a testament to the faith of the people of the Archdiocese during this difficult time. A prayer card with an image of the crucifix and a prayer to end the pandemic is being developed and will be available for download at  archstl.org/coronavirus.
