Nativity of the Blessed 

Virgin Mary Cathedral

A LOOK AT OUR STAINED GLASS WINDOWS—As part of the 175th Anniversary Year, the third look at our stained-glass windows will take place on Thursday, April 19, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. in the Cathedral Church.  We will examine the significance of Window #4, the Anointing of the Feet of Jesus.  Fr. Dennis will give a description of the symbolism and liturgical significance contained in the window; Edmond Boudreaux will provide a look at the window's donor, Mrs. Feliciane Schaub.  Please join us for this one-hour presentation.
