An “inaugural mass”, celebrated by the Archbishop of Paris Laurent Ulrich, will take place at 10:30 a.m. this Sunday in the presence of several heads of state, including Emmanuel Macron. The president, who gave a speech inside the cathedral on Saturday evening, will not take communion, the Elysée clarified, while respect for the separation of Churches and State regularly gives rise to controversies.
More than 100 bishops from France and the world are also expected at this service, as well as a priest from each of the 106 Parisian parishes and the seven Eastern Rite Catholic churches. The celebration of more than two hours will culminate with the consecration of the altar, an essential step before being able to celebrate mass. Access to this mass will be by invitation.
