Free tour booklets are available. All visitors who are not of the Roman Catholic faith are most welcome to join us in prayer and worship, but not to receive Holy Communion. Reception of Holy Communion is a sign of full unity and membership in the Catholic community. Together let us all pray for the unity of all believers.

The program is designed to help people rediscover the genius of Catholicism through simple but powerful daily email messages. Best Lent Ever will be led by Matthew Kelly and will offer daily spiritual coaching via email to all parishioners who sign up by Ash Wednesday (February 18). The Best Lent Ever program is free.

Three venues were used in our advertising: catholicjobs.com, musicasacra.com, and National Pastoral Musicians.com. These were the same sources used successfully in the selection of our last Director of Music. The advertising is producing good interest, and to date, we now have 13 applicants for the position. The search team will meet Tuesday, February 3 to review all resumes, and any reference materials submitted by the applicants, in order to determine which would be the best possible fit for our Cathedral parish. Initial contacts will be made by the chairman of the search committee to determine the level of interest in the position and interviews by the search team will follow. Please keep the search for our Director of Music in your daily prayers.
