The Women of The Genealogy of Jesus in Matthew’s Gospel
The Gospel according to St. Matthew begins with a rather confusing list of names that lays out the genealogy of Jesus beginning with Abraham. While most of the names are those of men, there are five women mentioned. During this series, we will look at the story of these women and learn some important lessons about how to prepare to welcome Christ into our lives more fully in preparation for the celebration of His Nativity at Christmas.
Thursday, December 16th at 7:00pm @ Cathedral Atrium
Extended Confessions and Adoration
The Cathedral will be hosting extended adoration hours this Advent. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for Adoration for the faithful to spend time before our Eucharistic Lord. Confessions will also be heard during those hours. Please consider signing up for an hour during that time to pray to prepare well for the celebration of the birth of Christ at Christmas.
Friday, December 17th – 12:00pm – 8:00pm, Saturday, December 18th - 7:00am – 6:00pm @ Cathedral
Rorate Caeli Mass
Join us for Cathedral's Rorate Caeli candlelit Mass in honor of Our Lady during Advent. The Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. In the dimly lit setting, priests and faithful prepare to honor the light of the world who is soon to be born and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illuminated by the sun as our Faith is illuminated by Christ. All are welcome to join us for this special Mass!
Saturday, December 18th – 6:30AM @ Cathedral
