I want to thank Fr. Hank Lanik and all the individuals involved in preparations for the opening of the Holy Door at the Cathedral as we officially began the Year of Mercy.  The liturgy was a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the Father's Mercy in the gift of His Son Jesus Christ and the model of discipleship the Father offers us in the Virgin Mary. 

I encourage you to visit the Media Gallery on this page.  There are some beautiful pictures of the mass.
