Please join us for an Organ Town Hall meeting!Most of the Cathedral’s organ pipes are made of zinc, a soft metal that was introduced in the 19th century for convenience and to reduce production costs. These pipes have sagged and fallen in on themselves over time,

and today two-thirds of the organ’s pipes can no longer generate musical tones. If you would like to learn more about the current organ, please join us for one of our town hall meetings February 3 at 10:00am in the Parish

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.

Please contact Maria Thorsen with any questions: mthorsen@richmondcathedral.org

RCIA would like to thank Peter and Julie Hains for providing a great dinner for our Tuesday night session. Thank you!

February 3Jeremiah 1 : 4-5, 17-191 Corinthians 12 : 31—13 : 13 Luke 4 : 21-30

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary TimeThis Gospel is about who Jesus is and who people believe him to be. The story of Jesus’ preaching and rejection at Nazareth is found in each of the Synoptic Gospels. In Luke’s Gospel, this incident is told in a way that foretells Jesus’ passion and death and helps explain the inclusion of the Gentiles in the promise of salvation. In Luke’s Gospel this incident appears at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry; in Matthew and Mark, this event is placed considerably later, after Jesus has preached and taught elsewhere. Only Luke identifies the content of Jesus’ teaching in any detail, telling us that Jesus read from the book of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue. In Mark and Matthew’s Gospels, Jesus teaches in the synagogue in Nazareth, and the townspeople take offense because Jesus is only the son of a carpenter. They reject his authority to teach them. In Matthew and Mark, it is only after Jesus is rejected that he observes times when Israel has rejected prophets.

In Luke’s Gospel, the people are surprised but not immediately offended by Jesus’ words in the synagogue. It is the words that follow his reading from the prophet Isaiah that seem to offend them. Jesus challenges and provokes the people of Nazareth by referring to examples in which Israel rejected the prophets. He also challenges them to respond to his message, the message of a prophet, in a way that is different from their ancestors. This call for a new response leads to his rejection...

...After Jesus’ words of challenge, Luke reports that there was a movement to kill Jesus by throwing him over a cliff. This differs from the reports found in Mark and Matthew’s Gospels, where Jesus is said to be unable to perform miracles in Nazareth because of the people’s lack of faith. Luke says that Jesus walks away from the crowd that intended to kill him; it is not yet his time. The animosity of the people of Nazareth prefigures and prepares the reader of Luke’s Gospel for the cross. Luke wants all to understand that it is through his death on the cross that Jesus offers God’s salvation to all.
