Bishop Cote Shares a Timely Palm Sunday Homily

This morning, April 5th, the Most Reverend Michael R. Cote celebrated Palm Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick. He could be heard on radio station WICH 1310 AM and viewed via live stream on the diocesan website-NorwichDiocese.org. In case you weren't one of the people who watched it live or viewed the replay, below is Bishop Cote's first homily since the suspension of public Masses last month. Except for a few clergy, musicians and tech crew for the live stream, the cathedral was empty.

The next live streamed event will be the Chrism Mass on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. Please visit NorwichDiocese.org/Masses to view this live event. A replay will be posted. If you missed the Palm Sunday Mass a replay can be found on the same page.
