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. CATHEDRAL BOOKSTORE. The DVD of Midnight Mass 2014 is now in stock for a limited time! Stop by today to pick up a copy (just $10). Also: plenty of great Catholic reading, medals, rosaries, and so much more!
