The final phase of work on the Cathedral Great Organ began in the summer of 2018 and will be completed in 2019! Note the new interim organ console that appeared in early June as the dismantling and completion work on our 23-year old instrument is undertaken by the original builder, Lively-Fulcher Organbuilders.
Here are only a handful of the abundant opportunities to grow in wisdom, holiness and intimacy with Jesus this fall at St. Matthew's:
• Study the Gospel of Luke with Fr. Jack Hurley and friends
• Drop in on Sacred Page, led by four of our Cathedral seminarians, and reflect on upcoming Sunday's Scripture readings
• Mark your calendar for our Tuesday evening Fall lectures on Gaudete et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad) with Rev. Timothy P. Kesicki, President of the Jesuit Conference of the U. S. and Canada, and Rev. Sean Michaelson, Socius of the Jesuit Conference
Join us in celebrating a bilingual (English and Spanish) Mass on Thanksgiving Day, November 22 at 10am. Msgr. Jameson will be the celebrant and Fr. López the homilist, with our rectory priests concelebrating.
