How to Become Involved
Pray
Bishop Allen Vigneron often asks that we begin with a simple prayer for the construction of the cathedral and for the safety of those laboring to complete it. Our purpose is strengthened by acts of faith. Read the Bishop's Prayer >>
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.
