The stone panels in this bay
are two of the four in the Cathedral that depicts the mission
and community of the Church.
The text is from Acts 1:8. It's Jesus' final message
to His disciples before He ascended to heaven -- and
it's His message to all of us today, you included!

To the left, Saint Paul, the
great missionary of the Church, is shown in the center.
Surrounding him are four Americans whose missionary
spirit has carried the Gospel to various lands.
(Left to right) Father Thomas Price and Bishop James
Anthony Walsh who founded Maryknoll (1911), America's
first missionary society; and on the right are Mother
Elizabeth Lange who founded the Oblate Sisters of
Providence (1829); and Mother Mary Demetrias first
general of the Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart
(1906).

| The stone panel to the right recalls the
unity of the Church. Shown here is Pope Pius XII welcoming
various members of the Church. In the background is The
Basilica of Saint John Lateran (left), which is the cathedral
church of Rome, and Saint Peter's Basilica (right). The
text below it, from Psalm 137, is used at the dedication
of churches. |
