CHRISTMAS AT THE CATHEDRAL
The Cathedral provides the perfect setting for the most joyous time of the year. Like the angels who heralded glad tidings to the shepherds, we proclaim Christmas in word and song. Readings from sacred Scripture, favorite congregational hymns, and seasonal instrumental music all herald the birth of Jesus.

In addition to joining us in person, we invite you to watch the Mass on Catholic Television or via live stream.
