The Cathedral is proud to present: SIMON TOPAROVSKY: VESSELS AND CHANNELS, a major exhibition of new artworks and installations by Simon Toparovsky, the internationally acclaimed contemporary artist who created the Cathedral’s beautiful bronze crucifix. Vessels and Channels, Mr. Toparovsky's new, sitespecific exhibition, explores ephemeral narratives of the human spirit and celebrates the human condition through sculptural works and compositions inspired by the devotional function of sacred images in early Renaissance paintings and sculpture. The wall-mounted and freestanding cast bronze and mixed-media installations are conceived as conduits—portals and gates to the personally profound and sublime. Vessels and Channels will be on view from November 9, 2014 through February 15 2015 at the Cathedral. Please watch the Cathedral website for information on additional events associated with the exhibit. This year marks the 18th anniversary of Celebrating Young Adults in Ministry - an event which recognizes the contributions that young adults make in the life of our local faith communities. Join us on November 15th at 3:00 pm for a special Mass celebrated by Archbishop José H. Gomez.. ALL ARE WELCOME!! DID YOU KNOW? Talk with your children about safety at school “Back-to-school does not have to mean back-to-worrying. Though safety inside school is ultimately the responsibility of the principal and school staff, parents can take a few basic steps to ensure a safe school experience.” Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she doesn't feel safe (find a teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure she knows how to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is likely to be at home.
