To all our visitors… Bishop John R. Gaydos, the clergy and the faithful of the Diocese of Jefferson City welcome you and hope that your time in our Mother Church may be an opportunity to share our faith and joy in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our parish was formed in 1959 and was elevated to the title of Cathedral in 1968 and dedicated in 1974. Please enjoy the beauty of this spacious building dedicated to the Glory of God and the memory of Saint Joseph, the Husband of Mary. It was built for the inspiration of all who enter. Free tour booklets are available. All visitors who are not of the Roman Catholic faith are most welcome to join us in prayer and worship, but not to receive Holy Communion. Reception of Holy Communion is a sign of full unity and membership in the Catholic community. Together let us all pray for the unity of all believers. If you desire to become a member of the Roman Catholic Church or to become a member of the Cathedral Parish, please call the parish office at 573-635-7991. All contributions to the Cathedral ministries and maintenance are sincerely appreciated. Please remember this Cathedral parish in your Last Will and Testament to support our parish’s ongoing mission.

Fourth Sunday of Advent December 21, 2014 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS A LETTER FROM OUR BISHOP WELCOME to all who gather in our Cathedral Church for The Fourth Sunday in Advent, Advent Vespers and Christmas! Christmas 2014 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, WEEK OF PRAYER: We ask each member of our Cathedral parish to pray for the members of one of the parishes or missions in our diocese this week. As a Cathedral Church, all our parishes are linked to us and we wish to deepen the spiritual bond with them. Therefore, we will pray this week for St. Stephen, Indian Creek. “Today is born our Savior, Christ the Lord.” At the midnight Mass on Christmas, we together proclaim this joyful truth, that what we have been preparing for throughout the season of Advent has been brought to fulfillment. Let us rejoice and sing with the holy angels as we behold the Word of God, whom the entire universe cannot contain, appearing as a little child in the manger. With the help of God’s grace, may the peace and justice of Christ Jesus find room in our hearts and in our world during this coming New Year. WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CONSECRATED LIFE: Pope Francis has asked us to remember in prayer, all members of communities of Male and Female Religious. This week we pray for the Living and Deceased members of, plus for an increase in vocations for, the Discalced Carmelite Nuns (Second Order of Carmel), OCD. During the Christmas season, we always remember and give thanks for our seminarians who are discerning God’s call in their lives. Let us not forget to offer a special word of thanks to our religious sisters and brothers during this Year of Consecrated Life. Through the example of their lives, they continue to make visible the qualities of humility and filial obedience that the Son of God accepted when He entered our world. FROM DEATH TO NEW LIFE-The Cathedral Parish Family extends its sympathy and prayers to the families of Johnnie Frese, Stephen Welch, brother of David Welch, Kellie March, daughter of Don & Janet Loethen and Fr. Francis Cox, uncle of Tom Minihan. May they have eternal rest in their heavenly home and may the Lord give comfort and peace to their loved ones who mourn their loss. Finally, I would like to extend a personal invitation to all who may not be attending Mass on a regular basis. I wish to welcome you to return here to your home and rediscover in the Eucharist the blessed peace and good will of Jesus Christ.
