The Seven Last Words of Christ
Take a look back, and a listen, with Tom Stehle at the Cathedral's longstanding tradition of the 'Seven Last Words' with our Schola Cantorum, absent from this year's Good Friday liturgies.
Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Our Lenten Penance Service traditionally is celebrated on Tuesday of Holy Week. While we are not offering open confession hours during the Covid-19 pandemic, you are welcome to call the rectory office at 202-347-3215 to make an appointment for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Ongoing Ministries at the Cathedral Parish
The Cathedral and rectory office may be temporarily shuttered, but we continue to pray and work with and for you, our dear parishioners, friends and supporters!
Reflection on the Liturgy of Tenebrae at the Cathedral
Thomas Stehle, St. Matthew's Director of Music Ministries, reflects on Holy Week without the celebration of the Liturgy of Tenebrae, a beloved musical and prayer tradition at the Cathedral. Tom also shares video recordings of several pieces of music that would have been sung by our Schola Cantorum at Tenebrae 2020.
Palm Sunday Live Events
The Cathedral and rectory office may be shuttered, but connections continue! On Palm Sunday, after the livestream 10am Mass with Archbishop Gregory, three additional virtual events are on the calendar:
- First session of the Laudato Si' online study series - connect via Zoom at 3pm (all welcome to connect)
- First session of the Sunday Small Group Study of the Gospel of Matthew - via conference call at 3:30pm (you can still join) (a second group meets on Monday evenings via a 7pm conference call)

Holy Week Events in the Gospel of Matthew
Read Fr. Jack Hurley's summation of the portrayal of Holy Week in Matthew’s Gospel. He suggests that we follow this moving account by reading it ourselves in full, as we accompany Jesus in His last days.
Little Rock Study of Matthew - by conference call
Join either of two small group studies of the gospel of Matthew led by parishioners. Both groups meet by conference call - one on Sunday afternoons at 3:30pm, and one on Monday evenings at 7pm. Email Theresa Prymuszewk to join - newcomers are welcome at any point!
