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.

END OF YEAR CONTRIBUTIONS
As we move toward the end of the year, your pastor invites you
to review your contributions to our parish during the past 11
months. Certainly many have been most generous, enabling us
to do all that we do to serve your spiritual needs, pay all our
employees, fund our programs and maintain our facilities and
plan for our future. Others, are in a position to do much more
than what they are doing. We simply ask for your assessment of
your generosity to your parish. What we are able to do for you is
dependent upon your support. Those who are looking for taxdeductible items for this tax year, might consider a gift to the
Church. In view of our needs and our building program, your
gift may be very timely for both you and the Cathedral. God
Bless You!!

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.
LEGACY GIFTS - Make a contribution that will last forever
with a legacy gift to the Cathedral Foundation. Bequests to the
Foundation are gratefully received and will have a lasting impact
on the parish. Please keep the Cathedral Foundation in mind as
you consider your will or in your estate planning. For more information, contact Norma or Mary at the parish office at (573)
635 7991 or any member of the Foundation Board.
Praying that you and your family have a most joyous
and Merry Christmas, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend John R. Gaydos
Bishop of Jefferson City
