The Rector's Corner

THE RECTOR'S CORNER Very Rev. Daniel J. McLearen -SPECIAL NOTICE- Temporary Parking: For your safety, please us the parking lot behind the Cathedral that faces Asylum Avenue. Parking and foot traffic behind the chancery building remain suspended. |
The demolition of the eastern end of the old school building has now begun. It began by removing the venire layer of bricks to be reused as we rebuild so that the rebuilt portion will match the old.
|
The next step was to saw the building in half in order to avoid damaging the part of the building that will remain as the rest is brought down.
|
As we continue the work on the school building, we are now in the final stages of planning for the repurposing of the lower church space. Some of this work has already begun, but major construction will need to wait until our Malta House and Food pantry tenants have been relocated into the newly renovated school building.
Concurrently, we are beginning the work on the West Lawn project that should be completed in the next few months. This will involve a rejuvenation of the landscaping together with signage for the Cathedral Campus including opportunities for gratitude to the major donors to these efforts.
We thank you for your patients during this period of renovation, and we thank all of those who have financially backed these efforts through the Hartford Bishop’s Foundation.-Fr. Dan
Who We Are
Cathedral and Parish
As the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Hartford, this beautiful church is the place where the local Archbishop presides over services attended by Catholics from throughout the Archdiocese. The Cathedral is also a parish in its own right, serving Catholics living in the Asylum Hill section of Hartford and in surrounding areas.
We are blessed with a beautiful environment for worship, one which features a superb four manual Austin pipe organ, exquisite stained glass windows crafted in Paris, and a ceramic tile mural behind the altar that is the largest of its kind in the world. Even more importantly, the Cathedral parish, which includes parishioners born on every continent in the world, is a vital one offering many activities, a place where sacred music and social outreach play significant roles.

Mass for Peace and Justice in Burma/Myanmar
Thank you to all who organized and participated in the Mass of Peace Event on Sunday, February 28th. I was so happy that we were able to show our support by offering the Mass and wonderful to have our lectors and reader offer the scripture and petitions in their familiar tongue. I hope they understand that the plight of their people are in my daily prayers especially at Mass. Special thanks to Judith Stonger, who through her dedication and support of our families from Burma, organized this important event and successful march and peace rally following the Mass. Mayor Bronin spoke at the rally showing his support as did many others. -Fr. Dan

A Breathtaking ARCHITECTURAL TRIUMPH, INSPIRED BY FAITH

Cathedrals do not just “happen.” On the contrary, they are living monuments of Christian belief and practice, testimonials that summon the best in bishops, clergy, architects, engineers, mathematicians, consummate artists, artisans, meticulous laborers and countless contributors, rich and poor alike. Our Hartford Cathedral is itself a testimonial to faith as well as human genius and artistry. The Cathedral is a repository for some of the most outstanding examples of contemporary ecclesiastical art - in stained glass, mosaics, and sculpture, in both metal and stone.
A Cathedral, like the Cathedral of St. Joseph of Hartford, unquestionably gives us joy, every time we participate in Mass there, every time we visit it, every time we pass by it. -Rev. Msgr. David Q. Liptak |
