From the reopening of Notre-Dame to Pope Francis' trip to Corsica, it's a historic December for The Lord's Day which is mobilizing in an exceptional way to cover these global events.
Two masses at Notre-Dame Cathedral
On December 7 and 8, the whole world will celebrate this long-awaited event: the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, 5 years after the fire which deeply marked hearts and minds. Several highlights are planned, including the first mass in the building on Saturday, December 8, in the presence of several hundred heads of state, bishops and priests.
A moment of prayer and global communion in which we associate The Lord's Day. Celebrated by the Archbishop of Paris, Mgr Laurent Ulrich, the mass will be broadcast live on mondovision from 10:30 a.m. The celebration will be longer than usual due to the special rites of consecration of the new liturgical furniture (altar, ambo, reliquary of the crown of thorns and tabernacle).
