SUMMARY:Lumen Christi Cathedral Gala
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the this special event as we shine a light on the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. \nThe first stones of our much-loved Cathedral were laid more than 165 years ago. In that time\, it has served as a parish and since 1904 as our Cathedral. St. Mary’s is the Mother church of our diocese\, as well as the seat of our Bishop\, and the spiritual home where our diocesan liturgies take place. \nFirst having welcomed faithful parishioners to worship in 1856 as a parish church\, the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption has served as the center of our Diocese since 1904 – the very beginning of the ‘new’ Diocese of Fall River. Join us for a night in celebration of our Mother church and help Lumen Christi – the Light of Christ – continue to shine forth from the Cathedral and bless our Diocese and all of the faithful within it. This year’s 4th annual Lumen Christi Cathedral Gala will recognize Madeleine and Richard Grace for their faith\, service and philanthropy. \nAll proceeds from this event will support repairs and renovations that will help us shine the light of our beloved Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption for years to come. \nComplete details on the Cathedral Gala are available here including information on tickets\, sponsorships and donations.
