Bishop William D. Byrne celebrated a special Mass, Sunday Dec. 29 at St. Michael’s Cathedral in Springfield at 10 a.m. to mark the opening of the Jubilee Year entitled, “Pilgrims of Hope.” The Mass, held on the Feast of the Holy Family, was broadcast live on “Chalice of Salvation,” which airs on WWLP-22 News. The celebration began at the front doors of the cathedral as Deacon John Williams, who will be ordained a priest next spring, read from the Bull of Indiction, a letter from Pope Francis, outlining what it means to be “pilgrims of hope.”
