Bishop Malooly to celebrate live-streamed Mass in honor of those who have died during pandemic

“Due to the restrictions on public gatherings over the last six months, many families were unable to hold a traditional wake, Mass of Christian Burial, or graveside service for their loved ones who passed away during the coronavirus pandemic,” said Mr. Mark Christian, Executive Director of Catholic Cemeteries, Inc. of the Diocese. “By holding this Mass, Bishop Malooly and our cemeteries staff honor and remember in prayer those who have died and recognize the pain their families have endured during this unusual time in our history. It is our hope that this Mass will offer some comfort and closure to those who are in mourning.”

During the Mass, the Bishop will offer prayers for those who were buried in Diocesan cemeteries during the period of mid-March through the end of August, and for all those who have died during the pandemic around the world.

The public is invited to participate in the live-streamed Mass by going directly to the Diocese of Wilmington’s YouTube Channel at YouTube.com/DioceseofWilm or by searching “Diocese of Wilmington” on YouTube. ​
