Holy Name Cathedral Parish

Description

Anytime we celebrate an anniversary, be it a wedding, ordination, or birthday, we remember the initial moment of the event. We celebrate in the present, embracing our blessings, and we believe that good things will continue to be a part of our lives in the future. So it was with Holy Name Cathedral 175 years ago.

In 1849, some very faithful Catholic folks settling in this area petitioned the Archbishop of St. Louis, then the head of this province, to establish a parish here, gathering together the faithful to pray, receive the sacraments, especially the Eucharist at Mass, and then go out to serve the poor and most vulnerable in His Holy Name.

So it is with the Holy Name Cathedral Faith Community today. The future has come, and we gather this year with grateful hearts, remembering those who have gone before us and are marked with the sign of faith. Their faith is a living memory, reminding us of the first disciples’ legacy of faith, which they have bequeathed to us.
