EWTN To Air Live Mass Closing Pauline Year From Birmingham’s Cathedral of St. Paul With Bishop Robert J. Baker

Irondale, AL (EWTN) – As part of its “Cathedrals Across America” television series, EWTN Global Catholic Network will air the Mass closing the “Year of St. Paul” from Birmingham’s beautiful Cathedral of St. Paul. The Mass, which will be celebrated by Birmingham Bishop Robert J. Baker, will air live at noon Central Time (1 p.m. ET, on June 29, 10 a.m. PT)) and will re-air at 5:30 p.m. Central Time (6:30 p.m. ET and 3:30 p.m. PT).

“Over the past several years, EWTN’s series, “Cathedrals Across America,” has traveled across the country to bring our viewers a series of live Masses, celebrated in dioceses throughout the United States,” said EWTN President and CEO Michael P. Warsaw, from the Network’s headquarters in Irondale, Alabama. “We are especially pleased to be able to present this Mass from the cathedral in our own Diocese of Birmingham, appropriately named in honor of the great apostle to the Gentiles himself, St. Paul.”

Doug Keck, COO and Executive Vice President, noted that this is another example of the close working relationship EWTN enjoys with Bishop Baker.

Birmingham’s Cathedral of St. Paul, which was dedicated on Nov. 30, 1893, is a beautiful example of the American Neo-gothic variant style.
