167th Anniversary of the Dedication of Notre Dame Cathedral

167th Anniversary of the Dedication of Notre Dame Cathedral On Friday, September 4th at 12:15, Archbishop Prendergast will celebrate the 167th Anniversary of the Dedication of Notre-Dame Cathedral. 

The importance of the cathedral church in the liturgical life of a diocese flows from the role of the Bishop as high priest of the Lord’s flock. Every parish community is related to the Bishop, therefore the anniversary of the cathedral church’s dedication as a place of worship is celebrated throughout the diocese (Ordo, 25b).

This is a solemnity in the Cathedral and a feast in other churches of the Archdiocese.
