RCIA – FEBRUARY 10, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.:
“Sacrifice & Historical Significance of Ash Wednesday” will be presented by Father Dan Millisor. Sessions meet each Wednesday evening in the undercroft. Please keep our candidates in your prayers and show your support by attending the sessions when possible. For more information contact Carol Keene at 614-657-9528.

UPDATE OF PARISH CENSUS: 
We have new software for our parish census. Some of our current information is outdated and some is simply inaccurate. New information sheets will be mailed to every member that we now have on record before the end of January. You may also download the information sheets.  We will be using this information to update our parish records. I ask that these forms be completed and mailed to the Rectory or brought to Mass and placed in the offering baskets. If you do not receive a copy of the new form in the mail, you are not officially registered in the Cathedral parish or the address we have for you is incorrect. EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY who has never received or completed an application, by the end of January, is asked to take a copy from the stone tables and follow the same procedures. Thank you for your participation in this important project.  Fr. Mike

 


STATIONS OF THE CROSS DURING LENT

Beginning February 17
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after the 12:05 p.m. Mass
Wednesday after the 5:15 p.m. Mass
There will be no Stations of the Cross after March 31
Lent is the time to set in place those practices, prayers, and penances that will make this a sacred time. By Easter we want to be better members of Christ’s Church than we are today.
Hopefully, many of these practices will not end, but will lead us to becoming people of greater virtue.

 

PARENTS:
We are beginning to form classes to prepare our children for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. We are also looking for people who would like to volunteer to assist the teachers. Please call the rectory at (614) 224-1295 to register your child for the classes.
