Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Foundation’s Organ [email protected] | 804-212-3898 The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Foundation is committed to acquiring new organs to replace the parish’s ailing instrument. New choir and gallery organs will add beauty to worship and enhance our liturgies. In addition, these unique instruments will give our church community broader reach through the arts by providing concerts and educational music programs for youth -- for example: Pipe Organ Encounters, an initiative of the American Guild of Organists, to interest and excite young people about pipe organs and organ music.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process for adults who, after hearing the mystery of Christ proclaimed, consciously and freely seek the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. With God’s help, this process will strengthen us spiritually.
1. How do I begin the RCIA process?If you are interested in becoming Catholic, we welcome your questions about what it means to live in the Catholic tradition.
2. What if I feel unsure of the RCIA process?Feeling unsure is natural. After all, joining a particular faith community is a significant step.
3. When do I begin?The first step is to make an appointment with the RCIA coordinator to discuss your questions and talk about the RCIA process.

Adult Faith Formation
Dear Parishioners,Every year, in parishes across the country and throughout the world, Candidates for the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) prepare to become members of the Catholic Church. Their process of conversion, discernment, and formation is guided by the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Those preparing to enter the Church depend on the support and encouragement of the whole church, not only to welcome them but to join them in following Christ. RCIA members enrich our Church by their example of openness to God’s grace and promptings of the Holy Spirit.Our Cathedral parishioners have shared their faith, prayers, and hospitality. You have been a witness to the Gospel. On behalf of the RCIA Ministry we thank you as you allowed the RCIA members to discover a sense of community. -RCIA Team
Arriving at Cathedral, parishioners are welcomed by the Bishop and the choir; Monsignor Golden leads the end of the ecumenical liturgy.
Readings and Reflection
Prepare for Sunday Mass using an online resource that includes a copy of the readings and much more. To access, go to the parish website, scroll to the bottom of the page,
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the LordToday we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ’s Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples’ dis-covery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thus, the details provided are not necessarily meant to offer proof of the Resurrection. The details invite us to reflect upon a most amazing gift, that is faith in Jesus and his Resurrection.
Each of the four Gospels tells us that Jesus’ empty tomb was first discov-ered by women. This is notable because in first-century Jewish society women could not serve as legal witnesses. In the case of John’s Gospel, the only woman attending the tomb is Mary of Magdala. Unlike the Syn-optic accounts, John’s Gospel does not describe an appearance of angels at the tomb. Instead, Mary is simply said to have observed that the stone that had sealed the tomb had been moved, and she runs to alert Simon Peter and the beloved disciple. Her statement to them is telling. She assumes that Jesus’ body has been removed, perhaps stolen. She does not consider that Jesus has been raised from the dead.
Simon Peter and the beloved disciple race to the tomb, presumably to verify Mary’s report. The beloved disciple arrives first but does not enter the tomb until after Simon Peter. This detail paints a vivid picture, as does the detail provided about the burial cloths. Some scholars believe that the presence of the burial cloths in the tomb offers evidence to the listener that Jesus’ body had not been stolen (it is understood that grave robbers would have taken the burial cloths together with the body).
The Gospel passage concludes, however, that even having seen the emp-ty tomb and the burial cloths, the disciples do not yet understand about the Resurrection. In the passage that follows, Mary of Magdala meets Jesus but mistakes him for the gardener. In the weeks ahead, the Gospel readings from our liturgy will show us how the disciples came to believe in Jesus’ Resurrection through his appearances to them. Our Easter faith is based on their witness to both the empty tomb and their continuing relationship with Jesus—in his appearances and in his gift of the Holy Spirit.
