Orange County and the City of Orlando have issued a “stay-at-home order,” restricting normal travel, work, and other activities in an effort to slow community spread of COVID-19. The order is effective Thursday, March 26 at 11pm until April 9 at 11pm.

Accordingly, Cathedral offices will close at 3pm on Thursday, March 26. Staff members, working remotely, will continue their support of Cathedral operations.

In-person services are still canceled. We will continue to stream weekday Noonday Prayer at 12:05pm and Sunday morning worship at 10:15am. These services, pre-recorded within the guidelines of the stay-at-home order, will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube. The services will also be available for viewing on our Cathedral blog (www.ccslorlando.org/blog).

Dean Reggie Kidd shares, “It breaks our hearts to see so many lives upended and destroyed by this virus. We pray God’s blessing on the efforts of governing officials and health care providers and researchers, of mental health workers and all who provide spiritual care, that we may soon see the subsiding of this pestilence. Meanwhile, during this “stay-at-home order,” we ask God to sustain and encourage with his love the many in our community who are barely hanging on, or who are lonely, afraid, stressed, or depressed. May the Man of Sorrows be alongside you, and may the hope of his resurrection sustain you. Amen.”
