Salvete! The Feast of Corpus Christi will be extended to Sunday, May 25th, 2008. Fr. Tolentino is planning on holding a Eucharistic Procession as well as Eucharistic Benediction. (Also in the works is a Solemn High Mass, but that’s unofficial news right now).  ;-)

Happy Mother’s Day!

The Cathedral

The ordination to the Sacred Priesthood for Deacon Nathan Long and Deacon Ruben Buller is Saturday May 10th at the Cathedral. Scott Connor will be ordained as a deacon. We should all pray for these men that they ever remain steadfast in their total sacrifice and surrendering to Christ.

In 1910, a great fire destroyed much of the city, including the original parish, and the Catholic school:

Before that, there was a church, convent, and school all on one campus and location:
