Dear friends in Christ,

The Diocese of Grand Rapids is providing a livestream for Holy Week liturgies at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, with Bishop Walkowiak presiding. Although public Masses, other liturgies and devotional services are canceled due to COVID-19, the faithful can watch these services. In addition to the livestream, several liturgies will also be on TV.

Mass at the cathedral is already broadcast every Sunday at 10 a.m., on GRDiocese.org, Facebook, and FOX 17. Additional broadcasts have been added for the chrism Mass, Holy Thursday Mass, Good Friday liturgy, and the Easter vigil.

Students at St. Robert Catholic School recently welcomed a special visitor: Bishop David Walkowiak. He visited on March 11, spending time with every classroom.

The children shared about what they're studying in school, asked questions about Bishop Walkowiak’s ministry, and learned more about our Catholic faith.
