Royalty in the Cathedral
by Meghan Ferrara
ut of the blazing sun, I stepped across the threshold into the cool
sanctuary of the Cathedral. It was August 24, 2014 -- the 800th anniversary of the birth of St. Louis and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city of St Louis.
I was there for a Mass which quite literally linked Catholic France and the city that grew from this rich heritage.
On this royal weekend, it wasn’t easy finding a seat, due to the large number of attendees. It seemed as though all of St. Louis turned out for this commemoration.
