WELCOME! If you are a visitor to the Cathedral, we want you to know how welcome you are — whether you have come from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another parish here in the Archdiocese. Thanks, in part, to the generosity of visitors like you, we are able to celebrate the Church’s liturgy here in a fitting and beautiful way. We are also able to offer a wide range of services to needy people living in the central district of our city.

FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR. are offered by the Deuna and Lopez families in remembrance of Armando E. Deuna on this 8th anniversary of his death, and from Holy Names Academy in celebration of the Class of 2014. Flowers at the altar last weekend were donated by Jeff, Melissa, and Connor Williams in loving memory of Grandpa John Hoyt Williams on the 10th anniversary of his death.

MEMORIAL DAY is Monday, May 26. There will be just one Mass in the Cathedral, at 9:00am, on the holiday. The Cathedral will remain open for prayer throughout the day.

CELEBRATE THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION. On Thursday, May 29 at 7:00pm, Archbishop Sartain will confirm fifteen youth and adults from our parish.

The workshop allows attendees to explore and evaluate their own relationships and learn new skills to develop and maintain healthy relationships. Topics that will be covered in this workshop include: how early relationships affect adult relationships, what are the red flags of a bad relationship that often get missed, identifying important values in a partner, setting boundaries, and what a healthy relationship looks like.
