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. LENTEN HOLY HOUR.

They were inspired by the work of 20th-century French artist Georges Rouault. The stations were created from found objects which Landkamer collected near her home in Ocean Shores. Each station is unique, and together they form a stark and intensely moving portrayal of the last journey of Jesus. You are invited to pray the Stations of the Cross Mondays after 12:10pm Midday Prayer, Wednesday evenings after 5:30pm Mass, and Friday mornings, after 8:15am Mass. ARCHBISHOP HUNTHAUSEN LIBRARY.
