Our May celebrations include the May 1 Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker, and these special Marian prayers:

  • On Friday, May 1, Archbishop Gregory joined with bishops from across the United States and Canada to reconsecrate the two nations to the maternal care of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Watch the video of this prayer service held at the Basilica. Read more in the Catholic Standard.
  • Pope Francis has written a letter of encouragement for the faithful to take up the Rosary in May. It includes Rosary helps and the text of two prayers that he invites us to pray with him at the end of each Rosary. Read Pope Francis' Letter to the Faithful. Print a copy of the two Rosary prayers.

RCIA Members Await their Initiation

Mid-way through Lent 2020, St. Matthew's RCIA Elect—those preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist, and our Candidates—those preparing for full communion and Catholics completing their sacraments of initiations—continued to meet weekly by conference call when all parish meetings were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Happy Eastertide!

Christ is risen! Alleluia!
He is truly risen! Alleluia!

A blessed and joyful Easter season to all our parishioners and friends, from Msgr. Jameson and all the the priests, deacons and staff of St. Matthew's Cathedral! We continue our prayers for those from St. Matthew's who would have been baptized or received into full communion with the Church during the Easter Vigil - our four Catechumens and ten Candidates - and for all Catechumens and Candidates throughout the Church of Washington and around the globe. As Msgr. Jameson wrote to parishioners and friends, we will celebrate with them soon. "When we do, it will indeed be a celebration!"
