The Diocese of Corpus Christi said Wednesday that it will not be holding in-person Mass until further notice.

"This is not an easy decision," said Bishop MIchael Mulvey. "I ask that you try to understand in charity for the good of everyone in our area(especially the most vulnerable), throughout the State of Texas, our beloved country and indeed the entire world. The virus is a pandemic and not something that can or should be taken lightly."

The Corpus Christi Cathedral broadcasts its 9:30 a.m. Mass on KDF-TV every Sunday, livestreams here, and can be heard on radio on KLUX Radio 89.5 HD.

Mulvey said Masses will be held every day, and each parish will have its own options for tuning in.
