MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thank you for joining us to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Emmanuel, God-with-us!
If you are a visitor...
If you have been away from the Church...
If you have just discovered the faith...
We welcome you this Christmas season and invite you to join us again at one of our upcoming regular Masses. You can learn more about our Church, get involved, and give back through our website at UTCathedral.com.
Additionally, as always, please feel free to reach out to me directly. You can schedule an in-person or online visit with me here. This Christmas we are so grateful for all our visitors, newcomers, and friends whose faith, service, and generosity allow us to further our mission to bring Christ to all. Thank you!
In Christ,
Fr. Christopher Gray


FAQ
How early do I need to arrive?
All the Masses gets crowded. It is recommended you arrive 30 minutes prior to find a good seat at the English Masses, especially if you are coming as a larger group/family.
Do I have to be Catholic to attend?
No. All are invited and welcome to attend Christmas Mass. Music, readings, and worship aids are provided so everyone can follow along.
Can I receive Communion?
The Eucharist (Communion) is the true Body and Blood of Christ and should be received with the utmost respect. Communion may be received by Catholics who are well-disposed and have fasted 1 hour before receiving. If you are not Catholic, you can remain in your seat, or, go in the Communion line with your arms crossed over your chest so the minister knows to give you a blessing instead.
Are my children welcome?
Of course! All children are welcome. We don't mind if they make a little noise.
