MISSION STATEMENT: To encounter Christ through the Eucharist and answer His call to holiness.
To carry out our mission, we:
- follow in the footsteps of Saint Peter and Ven. Bishop Baraga in our commitment to proclaim the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations through evangelization and Catholic faith formation; - are committed to prayerful lives and fostering participation in Eucharistic Adoration and other liturgical devotions; - welcome and serve our community, especially the less fortunate and one another.
Dear Cathedral & St. Mary Mission Family,
With this Second Sunday of Lent, we continue our Lenten
journey with Jesus, seeking to grow as His disciples.
Last Sunday’s Rite of Election here welcomed
Catechumens (those unbaptized) and Candidates from
across the Diocese. It’s always encouraging to see how
many are seeking to become fully Catholic! Two of our
own Candidates, Scott Kalishek and Dawn White, were
impressed by this as they participated. Now
catechumens are referred to as the Elect and Candidates
are called on to continuing conversion along with all of
us… Please keep them in prayer!
This past week we met with a representative from the
company Guidance in Giving, who will be helping us do a
Capital Campaign for our Cathedral in coming months.
As I have mentioned before, its goal is to fund the
renovation of the Cathedral bell towers, to eventually
replace the boilers for heating, and upgrade our sound
system for recording and broadcast as well as hearing
impaired support. This will be a three year campaign
with a goal of $1 million dollars, providing for the future
of our beautiful Cathedral. You will be hearing more in
months ahead!
Welcome to Fr. Benny Mathew from Kerala, India, who
arrived here this past week! He is a member of the
Missionary Society of St. Thomas, and was ordained to
the priesthood in 1998. He has served in various
positions in India and in several parishes. He will be with
us for a time of orientation, so please welcome him as
you meet him! God bless you and yours these days!
In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Rev. Msgr. Michael Steber
Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them
up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured
before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes
became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah
appeared to them, conversing with him.
Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
“Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make
three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a
shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that
said,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”
When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were
very much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying,
“Rise, and do not be afraid.”
And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one
else but Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the
mountain, Jesus charged them,
“Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has
been raised from the dead.”
— the Sunday Gospel, Mt 17: 1-9

“RESURRECTION BASKET” LENTEN PROJECT Our very successful Resurrection Basket Project is upon us. Over the past years, we have been able to collect cleaning supplies that fill many, many Laundry Baskets. This, as you know, is no small gift. Two big and important items are toilet paper and laundry soap plus other important items for cleaning. Everyone needs to do spring cleaning. If you are financially not able to do a complete basket, that is fine, every gift is appreciated. Bring your gift to church and place it in the basket. Pope Francis never ceases to talk about giving to others and what better time to do just that? Giving when you get nothing in return is the best kind of giving and you as a community have done just that over the many years. —Sister Ludmilla Gramann

Last winter Baraga went on snowshoes from L’Anse to Copper Harbor, a distance of fifty-seven miles, thought an uninhabited region, solely to baptize a child, of whom he had heard that it would
probably die.

“LIFE NOTES” from Monsignor Michael
Supreme Court to hear oral arguments in challenge to
Louisiana’s law requiring abortionists to have
admitting privileges
WASHINGTON – An hour-long oral argument inside the
Supreme Court Wednesday (March 4) could go a long way
toward reversing abortion rights in the United States.
On Wednesday, March 4, the Supreme Court will [have heard] oral arguments about Louisiana’s 2014 Unsafe Abortion Protection Act (Louisiana Act 620). As Louisiana Right to Life put it succinctly, “It is time the Supreme Court ends loopholes for abortion businesses!”
What, in fact, does Louisiana’s 2014 Unsafe Abortion Protection Act require? “The Act will require abortion providers to have admitting privileges within 30 miles of a local hospital. … Louisiana law requires surgeons in facilities classified as ‘ambulatory surgical centers’ to have admitting privileges at local hospitals so that the physician can admit and treat his patient if an emergency arises. The proposed law would require the same standard for surgical abortion providers.”
