Parish Retreat

Sunday, March 23, 2025

Between Masses, 10:45- 11:45 AM, In Undercroft


Join us on Friday Evening, April 11

The Cathedral of the Assumption invites you to join us on Friday evening, April 11, at 6PM in the Undercroft to continue our Lenten journey beginning with a simple meal of vegetarian soup and bread to nourish your body, followed at 7:30 PM in the Cathedral for a special presentation of the Dupré/Claudel Stations to nourish your soul.

The great French organist Marcel Dupré composed music as his response to the poet Paul Claudel’s meditations on the Stations of the Cross.

Dr. William P Bradford will recite the poetry of Paul Claudel and Dr. Philip Brisson will perform Marcel Dupré’s profound musical response on the Cathedral’s beautiful historic organ.

The evening is free, but a $5 donation for the meal is greatly appreciated.  Please join us for this moving Lenten event.


As you prepare for Holy Week and Easter. . .

Steiner-Reck Organ The 42 rank tracker organ has mechanical key action, and electric stop action. The gothic style casework is made of hand-carved mahogany.
Garden of Benevolence The stained-glass window in the garden was commissioned by the Cathedral Heritage Foundation during the 1994 renovation of the Cathedral.
Wood-carved Bosses The ornate woodcarvings or bosses on the ceiling were originally installed as a means for ventilation into the attic.
Arched Windows The Cathedral is designed in Neo-Gothic style. The arched windows of hand-painted glass allow sunlight to create beautiful images through-out the nave.
