July 4th marks special anniversary for the Cathedral of Saint Andrew
July 4 not only marks the celebration of our country’s independence, but it is also the anniversary of the re-dedication of the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, thus making it an official feast day for the Diocese of Grand Rapids.
Following a devastating fire in 1901, the cathedral was restored, expanded and then re-dedicated and consecrated during celebrations on July 4, 1903, involving thousands of Grand Rapids citizens and parishioners as well as bishops, priests, local officials, and the apostolic delegate to the United States.
Mass will be celebrated July 4 at 9 a.m. to mark the occasion of the re-dedication and our country’s independence.
To learn more about the Cathedral’s history, visit GRdiocese.org. You can also watch The Chair on YouTube which highlights America’s cathedrals, exploring the rich fabric and diversity of the Catholic Church through the eyes of the local bishop.

2023 Gallagher Talk featuring author and film-maker Gerard Straub
Thursday, Sept. 28 | 7-8:30 p.m.
From filming the poor to living with the poor, author and filmmaker Gerard Straub discovered a wisdom that can only be learned by living the Gospel in a radical way. His life is a journey from the glamour of Hollywood to a slum in Port-au-Prince where today Gerry operates a home of hope and healing for 60 abandoned kids. During the past 8 years, Gerry has turned the early morning hours into the time of attending to his own inner spiritual poverty. The fruit of living in a busy orphanage and finding the lonely hours of silence are the spiritual lessons that are a prophetic message for our time.

Desde filmar a los pobres hasta vivir con los pobres, el autor y cineasta Gerard Straub descubrió una sabiduría que solo se puede aprender viviendo el Evangelio de una manera radical. Su vida es un viaje desde el glamour de Hollywood hasta un barrio marginal en Port-au-Prince donde hoy Gerry opera un hogar de esperanza y curación para 60 niños abandonados. Durante los últimos 8 años, Gerry ha convertido las primeras horas de la mañana en el momento de atender su propia pobreza espiritual interior. El fruto de vivir en un orfanato ocupado y encontrar las horas solitarias de silencio son las lecciones espirituales que son un mensaje profético para nuestro tiempo.
