The link will be available on Mondays some time between 9 am – 12 noon. Please do not call the office about this.
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THE OFFICE ABOUT MASS SIGNUP, THOSE EMAILS WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.
1) The directives of the BC Health Authorities allow the Cathedral to offer the public celebration of Mass for fifty people or less (including people at the altar and the choir loft). Proper social distancing and cleansing are required.
2) Because of limited resources for security and cleansing, there are four Sunday Masses available for public celebration: 8 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM and 6:30 PM (Spanish). The 8 PM Sunday Mass will be live-streamed and people may attend, but entrance to this Mass is on a first-come first-serve basis.
3) BC Health Authorities also require that an accurate record of names and contact information be kept of each member of the faithful attending public Masses.
To facilitate this, attendance at Sunday public Masses requires you to sign up on the Cathedral Website.
If you cannot use Internet to sign-up please call the Cathedral office number at (604) 682 6774 ext. 0 and leave a message. Please note, you will only be admitted to Mass if you receive a confirmation email or phone call that your name is on the list for the Sunday Mass you selected.
4) Entry to the Cathedral for Sunday Mass is through the front door by the gift shop. No access is available through the door by the lane. Doors for Mass open 30 minutes before Mass starts and close 10 minutes before Mass begins.
5) Rosary Hall is closed at this time and no public washrooms are available. If you cannot come to Mass without the use of the restroom please do not come to Mass at this time.
6) If you signed up, and did not show up you may not be able to register for the next weekend Mass.
7) After Mass please do not congregate.
Please click here to sign up and to check if there are slots available for the Mass time you wish to attend, then fill in your name and contact information. You will receive an email confirming your Mass attendance.
Please do not email the office about signing up. Those emails will not be answered.
If you cannot sign up, it means Mass is full. Please follow the live-stream and try to sign up next week.
Mass sign-up closes on Thursday at 3 PM for the upcoming Sunday Mass.
Please check back each Monday morning (between 9 AM – noon)
to sign-up for the upcoming Sunday Mass.
