PARISH NEWS
EXPIRATION OF GENERAL DISPENSATION
On March 17, 2020 Bishop Kihneman gave dispensation from the Sunday obligation to attend Mass. This was prompted by the concern associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the ongoing preventative measures now being implemented, the general dispensation from Sunday Mass participation expired on Palm Sunday, March 27, 2021.
Faithful Catholics are asked to follow the First Precept of the Church: “You shall attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation”. A particular dispensation from the obligation is still available to those who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 due to underlying health conditions or not yet vaccinated and to those 60 years and older who have not yet been vaccinated. The full message from Bishop Kihneman can be accessed HERE.

MUSIC MINISTRY NOTES
CATHEDRAL CHOIR—As of the Spring of 2021, the Music & Fine Arts Ministry of Nativity BVM Cathedral is planning on the reinstatement/re-establishment of all Choral Programming for mid-August of 2021. Ministries including Nativity BVM Elementary (NES) Children’s Choir, Nativity BVM Cathedral Choir and Nativity BVM Cathedral's Community Chorale—“Gloria In Excelsis”—will resume weekly rehearsals at that point of the year, barring any unforeseen complications with the success of our country’s program for alleviating/defeating the impacts of COVID-19 upon our community/world. In late July 2021, the Music & Fine Arts Ministry of Nativity BVM Cathedral will publish plans and updated dates and times for the various rehearsals for the three choral programs of the Church.
To express your interest or for more information, contact Terry D. Maddox, M.M. at 251-406-1454 or via email at terrydalemaddox@gmail.com.Our monthly Cantor Schedule can be found on the Ministry Schedules page found by clicking HERE!
