Sunday Indoor Masses UpdatesAccording to the Alameda County COVID-19 ordinances, the Cathedral of Christ the Light will be permitted to resume indoor worship for congregations at a reduced congregation. Indoor Masses will have an attendance with a maximum of 100 persons.
To ensure we enforce this ordinance, guests MUST register for a weekend Mass to attend. Please see the Saturday/Sunday Mass schedule for Mass Times. Only guests who have registered for the Mass will be allowed to participate in the indoor Mass.
PLEASE NOTE:
Please keep in mind, Catholics are not obligated to attend Masses in this time of pandemic. All of the faithful in the Diocese of Oakland have dispensation from Sunday obligation of the Mass, due to the circumstances of the pandemic. People may come to Mass if they are safe to do so, and are comfortable.
For those who do not wish to attend Sunday Mass yet, livestreams will continue. The cathedral encourages the faithful who do not desire, or are unable to attend weekend Masses, to still observe Sunday as a day of prayer and rest.

How to Prepare for Mass WellLive streaming the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not quite full and active participation in the Mass, but here's how we may get the most out the experience:
- Set up a Prayerful space with a crucifix, candle, and some flowers/plants
- Dress up as you would for attending a Sunday Mass
- Take 10 to 15 minutes of personal reflection to prepare your heart for the live streamed Mass
- Think of a prayer intention you intend to offer during Mass
- Do an examination of Conscience
- or read the Mass readings at https://bible.usccb.org
- Participate in the physical gestures and spoken responses
- Pray an Act of Spiritual Communion

Homily Help Happy Hour (H4) Seminar Series
The Cathedral of Christ the Light is happy to announce our Homily Help Happy Hour (H4) seminar series! Join Fr. Brandon for small group discussions on the readings and prayers of the Mass as he prepares his Sunday homilies. We want this to be a weekly event via Zoom, beginning on May 19, 2020. Once we reopen the Cathedral, we hope to continue these H4 sessions in person with Fr. Brandon, either at the Cathedral or at a local bar or restaurant!
Sign up for the next session by CLICKING HERE. In order to facilitate more focused discussions, Fr. Brandon will limit participation to 15-20 people, who will receive a confirmation email from him. While we cannot accommodate larger groups, you may still sign up for future sessions as H4 continues into the future!
