This is a collaborative day of learning, inspiration, and connection. The event will be hosted on Saturday, October 18, location TBD.

Cultural Diversity Apostolate
The Cultural Diversity Apostolate supports and collaborates with the many culturally and racially diverse communities throughout the Archdiocese of New York.

Attached is a list of upcoming cultural Masses scheduled to be held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We invite you to concelebrate at any of these liturgies and encourage you to share this information with your parish communities. Also, if your parish celebrates a special liturgy, feast day, or event for a particular ethnic community that you would like support with or help promoting, please contact us.
