Masses resume across the Diocese of Evansville

Benedictine Father Godfrey Mullen, rector of St. Benedict Cathedral in Evansville, begins the 9 a.m. Mass on May 18. Bishop Joseph M. Siegel announced May 7 that weekday Masses in parishes across our 12 counties could resume beginning May 18, and weekend Masses may resume beginning May 23-24. The seating shown reflects people living under the same roof sitting with each other, with appropriate social distancing in place for separating families and individuals. Seats at St. Benedict Cathedral have been marked with tape, and a sign at the entrance notes that the cathedral’s seating capacity is 180 due to social-distancing guidelines.
