The Brooklyn Diocese Unites the Faithful this Easter via TV and online Masses
in Seven Languages to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Today, Holy Saturday, the Church commemorates the time Jesus spent in the tomb. Then, after sunset, Easter Vigil Services throughout Brooklyn and Queens will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. With the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, forcing our churches to be closed this Easter, the Diocese of Brooklyn has embraced the challenge to keep us all connected during these holy days.
Parishioners can spiritually join in the Diocesan Easter Vigil which will be celebrated tonight at 8 p.m., live from the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn. The Mass will be celebrated in English, with readings in six additional languages – Spanish, Italian, Polish, Korean, Chinese and Creole.
On Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, the Mass of our Lord’s Resurrection will be celebrated in seven languages – live from the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph. The schedule is as follows:
8:00 a.m. Italian Mass
9:00 a.m. Creole Mass
10:00 a.m. Polish Mass
11:00 a.m. English Mass
12:00 p.m. Spanish Mass
1:00 p.m. Korean Mass
2:00 p.m. Mandarin Chinese Mass
Live Masses from the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph are televised on NET-TV, the cable channel of the Diocese of Brooklyn. NET-TV can be seen in the New York City area on Spectrum-channel 97, Optimum-channel 30, and Verizon FIOS-channel 48. The Masses will also be streamed on our website at dioceseofbrooklyn.org/masses.
Additionally, WABC-TV will provide live coverage of the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Easter Sunday English Mass at 11 a.m. on its “localish” channel – 7.2 over the air. The localish channel can be seen on Optimum channel 110, Verizon FIOS channel 467, Charter (Spectrum) channel 1240, Comcast channel 790, and RCN channel 618.
