Thomas Stehle, St. Matthew's Pastoral Associate for Liturgy and Director of Music Ministries, gives an insider's view of the January 20, 2021 Mass at the Cathedral commemorating the inauguration of President Joe Biden in "An act of faith: the prayers and music of Biden's Inauguration Day Mass" for National Catholic Reporter.
Msgr. Jameson notes that the January 20, 2021 Mass honoring the inauguration of our nation's second Catholic president was "an outstanding liturgy," and a reminder of the major role the Cathedral historically has played in the Catholic life of our nation's capital. Here's a look back.
Pope Francis' visit to St. Matthew's Cathedral, long impressed on our hearts, is now memorialized in a commemorative plaque on the wall behind the statue of Mother Teresa and the Homeless Man.
