Join Bishop Edward M. Rice for First Friday Mass for Vocations at St. Mary of the Annunciation Cathedral in Cape Girardeau at 5:15pm.

On November 21 (the Memorial of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple), the Church will celebrate World Day of Cloistered Life, an ecclesial event for all Catholics worldwide to commemorate the hidden lives of contemplative religious in cloisters and monasteries. On this day, the faithful are encouraged to reach out to the cloistered religious in their diocese, through prayer, encouragement, and material support.
