St. Matthew Elementary & ELC

Over the weekend, the Archdiocese of Dubuque shared the interim Mass schedule for each pastorate. The schedule will be in effect from July 15, 2026, through January 15, 2027, and will be reviewed throughout that time, with adjustments made as needed.

Many XCS schools celebrate Mass in parishes across all Cedar Rapids pastorates. Below, you will find both the interim Mass schedule and the school Mass schedule for XCS schools that celebrate Mass within these pastorates.

If you have questions regarding Mass times, Journey in Faith, or your pastorate, please contact your parish directly.

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
