Most Rev. Kenneth D. Richards, D.D. has advised that a recommendation has been made for
the cancellation of the Annual Pilgrimage to Morant Bay, celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of the Assumption. This cancellation is a precaution to prevent possible exposure to the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Here are the accommodating provisions:
The Archbishop will Preside at the celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity on Sunday, August 16, 2020 starting at 8:30 a.m.
At the end of Mass, we will gather at Our Lady Of The Assumption Statue on the grounds of the Cathedral to pray the Glorious Mystery of the Rosary and conclude with the prayer Dedicating Our Island to the Protection of The Blessed Mother of Jesus.
Two persons will be designated to represent each Church at this celebration.
The names of the representatives will be submitted to confirm their attendance to the office of the Cathedral to facilitate seating arrangements.
Pastors should include the praying of the Glorious Mystery and the Prayer Dedicating our Island to the Protection of the Blessed Mother of Jesus at your Eucharistic Celebrations on August 15 & 16, 2020.
