Parish News Update from Father
John
Reflecting on my responsibilities in the Diocese and our
parish, I have reached a decision to restructure the
organization of the parish. The first step in this
reorganization is to eliminate the position of Parish
Administrator. I wish to personally thank Lucy Hamer
for her years of dedication and faithfulness to the
Cathedral. We pray for her as her position of
Administrator finished on May 20th. May the Lord
continue to lead and guide her.

Pentecost Sunday
A Life-Giving Love
Lord God,
you have breathed life into creation,
blessing all of the earth with the fire
of your love.
Be with us today as we rejoice
that through your Word and through
the Spirit,
the Church was brought to life
so that the world would hear the
Good News
of your saving love.
Keep us true to you
that we might bear the fruits
of the Spirit,
carrying out our work
with patience, gentleness, and joy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Sunday, May 24, 2015
Unity through the Spirit
Today’s Readings: Acts 2:1–11; Psalm 104:1, 24, 29–30, 31,
34 (30); 1 Corinthians 12:3b–7, 12 –13 or Galatians 5:16–25;
John 20:19–23 or John 15:26–27; 16:12–15. The readings for
our Pentecost celebration might well leave us with a sense of
awe. We hear of people filled with the Holy Spirit, of
tongues of fire, of the Spirit guiding us to the truth, of Christ
offering peace, and of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. There is
much to absorb on this last day of the Easter season.
Each of today’s readings tells of the unity that is part of
life in the Spirit. In the reading from the Acts of the
Apostles, the people are gathered in Jerusalem from many
nations but still they hear one message. Both options for the
Second Reading provide insight into the petition in the
Eucharistic Prayer that we become “one body, one spirit in
Christ.” From 1 Corinthians, we hear that our Baptism
brings us into one body, the Body of Christ. The letter from
Galatians is clear that those who live in the Kingdom of God
bear the fruits of the spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
So, too, is there a sense of unity when Christ wishes the
disciples peace in the account from John 20. Notice that
Christ does not wish individual Apostles peace but the
whole group. He breathes on all of the Apostles. He is sending them on the one mission to bring the Good News to the
world. The Church is one just as the Father, Son, and Spirit
are one. In the option for the Gospel from John 15, we hear
of the unified work of the Trinity. Jesus tells the Apostles
that he will send the Spirit from the Father. The Spirit will
glorify Christ, just as we are to glorify Christ as we spread
the Good News.
This Week and Beyond
Now that the Easter season has ended, here are some memorials, feasts, and solemnities to look forward to during
Ordinary Time.
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” God,
who is beyond all understanding, truly loves us, and in the
heart of Jesus this love has become binding for all ages. The
Sacred Heart represents the faithful love God has for us, even
though we have often strayed.
Sunday, May 31, 2015
The Most Holy Trinity, Solemnity
Wednesday, June 24, 2015
The Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Today’s Readings: Deuteronomy 4:32 – 34, 39 – 40; Psalm 33:
4 – 5, 6, 9, 18 –19, 20, 22 (12b); Romans 8:14 –17; Matthew
28:16 – 20. The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity flows naturally from Pentecost. The Father having sent the Son, and the
Father and the Son having sent the Holy Spirit, the three are
now celebrated as a unity, as one God. In this Sunday’s
Gospel, Jesus tells the Apostles to baptize in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It is significant
that we begin our lives as Christians invoking the Trinity. We
must remember that we live in the communion of love that is
the Trinity.
Sunday, June 7, 2015
The Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ (Corpus Christi)
Today’s Readings: Exodus 24:3 – 8; Psalm 116:12 –13, 15 –16,
17–18 (13); Hebrews 9:11–15; Mark 14:12 –16, 22 – 26. The
origins of this solemnity are rooted in the Eucharistic devotion of Juliana de Cornillon, between 1191 and 1192 in Liège,
Belgium, where groups of women were dedicated to
Eucharistic worship. In the year 1264, Pope Urban IV instituted this solemnity for the universal Church. Many parishes
have a Eucharistic procession to observe Corpus Christi. If
your parish does not have a procession, perhaps you could
participate in a neighboring parish’s procession.
Friday, June 12, 2015
The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Today’s Readings: Hosea 11:1, 3 – 4, 8c – 9; Isaiah 12:2 – 3, 4,
5 – 6 (3); Ephesians 3:8 –12, 14 –19; John 19:31– 37. The Sacred
Heart of Jesus, aflame with an unquenchable fire, stands as a
powerful symbol of Christ’s unquenchable love for humanity.
The prayer of St. Paul from today’s Second Reading prays
Today’s Readings: Isaiah 49:1– 6; Psalm 139:1– 3, 13 –14ab,
14c –15 (14a); Acts 13:22 – 26; Luke 1:57– 6 6, 80. When
Zechariah announced that his son would be named John, all
were amazed. As is stated in today’s Gospel, it was apparent
that the hand of the Lord was upon this baby. John would
prepare the way of the Lord, pointing people to Christ. By
the way we live, we should be showing people the way to
Christ. How do your actions connect people to God?
Monday, June 29, 2015
Sts. Peter and Paul Apostles,
Solemnity
Today’s Readings: Acts 12:1–11; Psalm 34: 2 – 3, 4 – 5, 6 –7,
8 – 9 (5b); 2 Timothy 4:6 – 8, 17–18; Matthew 16:13 –19. Peter,
the first of the Apostles, suffered from human weakness,
even in the presence of Jesus. Paul persecuted Christians
until his life was changed when he encountered Jesus.
Considering both of these men, we should never let our frailties keep us from working toward the kingdom. Today’s readings speak of Paul being “poured out like a libation” and
Peter as the rock of the Church. In what ways are you a rock
for others?
Tuesday, July 14, 2015
St. Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin
Today’s Readings: Exodus 2:1–15a; Psalm 69:3, 14, 30 – 31,
33 – 34 (33); Matthew 11:20 – 24. Kateri was the first indigenous woman from North America to be canonized. Steadfast
in her faith, she sought private instruction in Catholicism.
Once baptized, she was persecuted. Still, she was devoted to
the Eucharist and known for her life of prayer.
