With the news earlier today about the election of Pope Leo XIV, we wish to share some resources to help you lead your communities in the coming days.

The following liturgical requirements are advised by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee for Divine Worship and the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions:

• Gold and white bunting will be hung over the doors of the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and the same may be done at parishes. 
• As soon as is practical, parishes should celebrate Mass. Guidelines and texts can be found in this document from the USCCB at the following locations:
