Helpers Of God’s Precious Infants

Did you know that abortions are performed only 8 blocks away from our Cathedral Basilica?  First reactions to this might be shock, outrage, or sadness.  Rather, this close proximity of good and evil is a great opportunity for hope and change.  Helpers of God’s Precious Infants can help to make this happen.  On March 21, 2010, and on the third Sunday of every month, you are invited to the 8:00 a.m. Mass and prayer vigil at the Cathedral Basilica.  After Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration.  All who are able are invited to pray the rosary during a peaceful procession to the abortion facility at Forest Park and Boyle.  Upon return to the Cathedral, all participate in Benediction.  The event concludes at 9:45.  For more information contact Maureen Kane at 647-6019.

Stations Of The Cross

Stations of the Cross will be performed every Friday for the remainder of Lent.  The Living Stations Of The Cross will be performed on Friday March 26 at 2:00 in the Church.  There was a flyer that was circulated that had a different date.  Please disregard this flyer and join us on March 26.
