St Joseph’s Cathedral organised its first open–air morning Mass at the Cathedral’s carpark on 19 December. The 7.00 am Mass was limited to 20 pre-registered cars and passengers had to comply strictly with the state government’s SOP for houses of worship.
The trial–run was a prelude to more special Masses that will enable Catholics who are considered “high risk” because of the COVID-19 pandemic, to come to Church and to receive Holy Communion.
Archbishop Simon Poh celebrated the first “Carpark Mass” from the first floor window of the Parish office overlooking the carpark. He was assisted by Fr Galvin Ngumbang.
