Since January 15, Friday, we starting offering the celebration of the Mass Ad orientem (towards the east), and we will continue to do this every Friday. At the celebration of the Mass Ad orientem, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the people with the priest are facing God together eastward, where the Cross is, as well as, the tabernacle. During Lent and Easter, we will alternate celebrating Masses versus populum (facing the people) and ad orientem (towards the east). Check out the FAQ Page on Mass Ad orientem.
