With Joyful Song
Check out the following article about the role of singing as a key element of Christian liturgy: With Joyful Song.
 30 Minutes of Reflective Music for Personal Prayer
Please join us on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2010 at 8:00 a.m. in the Cathedral. Come and offer your prayers of thanksgiving, praise, and petition during these 30 Minutes of Reflective Music. Pray silently for your personal needs, the needs of your loved ones, or the needs of the world.
If you prefer, you may email your prayer intentions, in the strictest confidence, to Patrick Carlin, Minister of Liturgy & Music, at
pcarlin@richmondcathedral.org. You may email the names of your loved ones in need of prayers for healing or your special intentions. Throughout the centuries, the Church has prayed intentionally for her members, for the world, for those in any need, and for the personal intentions within each heart.

Our 2010-2011 Cathedral Concerts seek to respect the diversity already present in the local community by programming inclusive, eclectic repertoire and by engaging performing artists from a wide spectrum of musical styles.
