How to Become Involved

Pray

A simple prayer for the Cathedral is a wonderful way to support the Center and all those who have labored to build it and who work to support it. Read A Prayer for Our Cathedral >>

Share the Story

Communicating with family members, friends, fellow churchgoers and colleagues about the cathedral encourages a broader understanding of the project's significance and helps promote awareness. Speak with your pastor about how to marshal support for the cathedral within your local parish. Simply referring others to this website is a good way to spread the word.
