Pastor’s Welcome
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Parish! For over a century, the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart has provided a singular environment for Sunday worship, varied liturgical events, diocesan celebrations, community events. The people of the Cathedral Parish community repre-sent a wide variety of age groups, backgrounds, experiences, occupations. Unlike many suburban parishes, our parishioners choose to travel to the Cathedral from all areas of the city of Richmond, local counties to our inner city location. Given all these singular gifts, we realize that a newcomer can still feel isolated in the midst of new, unknown faces, ministries, opportunities. We hope to minimize such isolation, invite you to learn more about the Cathedral Parish so that you, your household may experience our rich opportunities for worship, community, ministry. The Cathe-dral of the Sacred Heart is truly a place where all are counted as parishioners.
Rev. Msgr. Patrick Golden, Rector
Mission Statement

Introduction to the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Parish
Designed by New York architect Joseph H. McGuire, the Cathedral is considered to be Virginia’s finest ecclesiastical example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The building is constructed of Virginia granite, Indiana limestone with a copper dome, tile roof. Six fluted Corinthian columns support the architrave on the front of the exterior, which displays the motto “If Ye Love Me Keep My Commandments” (John 14:15). The outline of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Richmond appears above the name of the church to the left of the columns. Richmond was a small town of only 16,000 when its first Catholic Cathedral, St. Peter’s, 800 E. Grace Street, was built in 1834. After the Civil War, Bishop John McGill realized that the growing Catholic population would need a new house of worship. In 1867 he purchased a lot in what was then considered the far west end. Lack of funds prevented further action until 1884 when Bishop John J. Keane purchased the remainder of the present block. With the announcement of a gift of $500,000 for the proposed cathedral from Thomas Fortune Ryan, his wife, Ida Barry Ryan, plans for the building were drawn up.
On June 4, 1903, Archbishop Diomede Falconio, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, officiated at the laying of the cornerstone, which came from the Garden of Gethsemane. Three years later, thousands of people filled the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart for the Dedication on Thanksgiving Day, November 29, 1906. The consecration ceremony was a milestone in both Richmond’s history, the history of the Catholic Church in Virginia. The event was reported nation-ally, the local newspaper devoted two special sections on the religious, architectural, civic impor-tance of the Cathedral.
The Cathedral Carillon was installed in 1995. It is a gift of the Most Reverend Walter F. Sullivan, then Bishop of Richmond, in celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the Diocese of Richmond, the 25th Anniversary of Bishop Sullivan’s episcopacy. The 61-bell note Carillon was made by Van Bergen Foundries, Inc. of Charleston, South Carolina.
Framed by Richmond’s Monroe Park, the Monroe Park campus of Virginia Commonwealth Uni-versity, the residential Fan District, the Cathedral serves as the Mother Church of the Diocese of Richmond, as the local parish for its Richmond congregation. The Cathedral is a Virginia Historic Landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, received the Historic Richmond Foun-dation’s 1992 Award of Achievement for its restoration.

SacramentsThere are seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick. The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant, important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God’s sav-ing presence.
v Baptism: As a community we celebrate Baptisms during Mass four weekends a year. Once we have received your completed registration form, we will notify you to confirm the Mass time to which you have been assigned. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. We can reserve a date only after the child has been born. If you belong to another parish, wish to baptize your child at the Cathedral, please have your pastor send us written permission, enclose it with the Baptism Registration form. To accommo-date extraordinary circumstances (e.g. military deployment, gravely ill family member, etc the Cathedral does provide the option to have a private Baptism during the year.
Families are required to attend a Formation Class in the Cathedral parish hall with their children, with other families who will celebrate Baptism the same weekend. The forma-tion centers on the meaning of the Sacrament through an exploration of the signs, sym-bols of our faith, followed by liturgical preparation.
