Dedication of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

Dedication of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

I'm really getting excited about the dedication of our cathedral (the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield, Illinois) that I'll be going to on Wednesday afternoon this week.

I was honored to have been asked, knowing that the tickets for the dedication Mass were extremely limited. But then it didn't really set in until today, as I was reading this week's special edition of our diocesan newspaper, the Catholic Times, which was all about the renovation and dedication.

Those who have been reading for a while know that I wasn't thrilled about everything surrounding the renovation, including the timing of the request for financial support, simultaneous to one in our own parish. But looking at the results of the renovation, I'm proud of and excited about what our diocese and cathedral have accomplished.

Keep an eye here. I'll post more, and photos, as the week progresses.

@owainc @RayPunSD I'd love to hear Father's take on that. There is a personal element missing in the digital self if we're not careful. 2012/05/16
I think there's more a direct relationship of convenience-2-multichannel than indirect of trust-2-multi http://t.co/awl387zc @MineThatData 2012/05/16
