Lawrence, is on a much deserved vacation. In lieu of his normal “Message from the Pastor,” we are running a series on the architecture and symbolism of the Co- Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Church. Much of this information is being taken from the “Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston Commemorative Dedication Booklet,” compiled for its dedication on April 2, 2008. To quote His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, our Archbishop of Galveston-Houston, from his letter at the beginning of the original booklet, this information “has been prepared to help you gain information and insight into this great Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. I hope that it will be useful to you and lead you to both look and to ponder, to abide here for awhile in peace. I hope that you will visit this church often and that you will be refreshed by its beauty.” A Great Cathedral for a Great City A cathedral is a special church—the mother church of a diocese and the spiritual center of the prayer life of the local Catholic community. It is also the Bishop’s church taking the name cathedral from the Bishop’s chair, the cathedra. From the cathedra, the Bishop teaches and presides over the flock of Christ entrusted to his care. A cathedral is the spiritual home for all the faithful of the diocese—a place of welcome and peace. The desire for a new Co-Cathedral to serve the growing needs of the tenth larg- est diocese in the United States was expressed by Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza in the late 1990s. The existing building had been dedicated as a parish church in 1912 and could no longer adequately serve the liturgical needs of the vibrant and expanding Catholic population. After consultation with the faithful of the dio- cese, the Bishop initiated a plan to build a cathedral designed to serve the liturgi- cal needs of the local church; it would be a “catechism in stone.” His instruction to the architect was simple, “Build a church that is beautiful, prayerful, reflecting noble simplicity, and conducive to lifting the mind and heart to God.” It was to be a space whose focus is clearly on the Eucharist—the center of the liturgical prayer life of all Catholics. Ground was broken for the new Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on January 30, 2005 and from that date the construction of this sacred space was carried out under the vigilant gaze of now retired Archbishop Fiorenza and Daniel Cardinal DiNardo. Built to the Glory of God, the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart stands as a testament to the faith of over 1.5 million Catholic faithful in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Rising over 130 feet into the Houston skyline, it is a beacon of hope shin- ing over the city inviting both citizens and visitors to prayer. Dedicated to Jesus Christ, under the title of the Sacred Heart, the Co-Cathedral is filled with images that reflect the love and tender compassion of Jesus poured out upon humanity. The Cathedra A cathedral takes its name from the Bishop’s chair: the cathedra. Only in the cathedral, the mother church of a diocese, is there a chair reserved exclusively for the Bishop. The cathedra is a symbol of the Bishop’s teaching authority following an unbroken tradition from the Apostles. The cathedra in the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is a strong, beautiful, yet simple chair hand carved from solid red oak. Its primary ornamen- tation is the seal of the Archdiocese embedded in the back of the cathedra. Continued on Page 8 p. 4 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time WELCOME to the Co-Cathedral!
