New Cathedral Dedication

The new Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart will be dedicated this week in Houston. I was at the groundbreaking, and toured it a couple of times during construction (even got all the way up in the dome), and would certainly have been attending this dedication if I hadn’t left the employ of the archdiocese last May.

Now, like you, I’ll be able to watch the dedication on TV. The local media is making a big deal about this. See the multiple articles in the Houston Chronicle (start here). The commentator for the broadcast will be Cardinal John Foley, who narrates the US broadcast of the pope’s Christmas Eve midnight mass each year.
