The History of Cathedral Chapel

(continued)

Though the makeup of the Parish changed through the years, Cathedral Chapel has
always been famous for its inclusiveness, welcoming and embracing all people of good
faith. And the Parishioners have responded as well with generosity and hospitality
that's become legendary. Once, when the Parish needed a new chalice, the Altar
Society asked for donations of gold or gold plated jewelry. The response was
overwhelming! A chalice and ciborium were made, containing wedding rings,
engagement rings, watches, and many other pieces. Msgr. Dolan was deeply moved by
the gesture, and after thanking them, he said he would remember each and every one
of them whenever the chalice was used.

A Parish is not only a church or rectory, a group of artistic creations, or a series of
devotional exercises. It is a growing, changing, living part of the community.
Cathedral Chapel has been at the center of many people's lives, and then have been at
the center of the life of the church.
