This past Saturday, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the dedication of St. Mary’s Cathedral. In his homily, Archbishop Sample reflected on the importance of this sacred place as the spiritual home of all Catholics in western Oregon, and reminded us that while the Cathedral is a magnificent building, it is ultimately the faithful who are the Church - living stones who form the Mystical Body of Christ. He expressed the hope that 100 years from now, a future archbishop will look back with gratitude on the Catholics of today, who witnessed to the Gospel here and helped lay the foundation for generations to come, drawing souls ever more deeply to Christ.
