Commit 50 Hours for the 50th Anniversary!

Update
Celebrate Through Service: “Commit 50 Hours for the 50th”

Thank you to everyone who committed to serve in honor of Cathedral’s 50th Anniversary. So many parishioners of all ages responded and the pledge forms were presented during the Offertory at the 50th Anniversary Mass. Almost 10,000 hours of service have been pledged as of mid-January, 2010, including 1500 hours by the 8th grade Confirmation class! Your response to God’s call to help our neighbors is humbling and inspiring.
