Boston archdiocese to stream Holy Week services on Catholic TV, online - The Boston Globe

Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley will celebrate Palm Sunday Mass at theCathedral of the Holy Cross, the first Holy Week service to be broadcast on Catholic TV and streamed online, the Archdiocese of Boston said.

O’Malley will bless palms during the 8 a.m. Mass that will be broadcast live on WLVI-TV in Boston and rebroadcast on Catholic TV at 11 a.m., 7:30 p.m and 11:30 p.m., the archdiocese said in the statement.

O’Malley suspended all Masses and other religious services at parishes throughout the archdiocese in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cathedral is closed to the public.

Catholics are encouraged to worship virtually by watching Holy Week services on television or online, said the Most Rev. Robert Reed, an auxiliary bishop and president of Catholic TV.
