It's Almost Christmas at the Cathedral
Marketplace Application
The Cathedral Women's Alliance is pleased to extend an invitation to apply to the

benefit the Cathedral Church capital improvements fund.
The Marketplace portion of the event will be open to Crafters with hand-made items
and Direct Sell Vendors. Space will be limited, so please submit your applications as soon
as possible (deadline October 30th).
NEW! We are pleased to announce the option to sell on Sunday morning. There is no
extra charge to remain for Sunday and there is no obligation to participate on Sunday.
It is however an outstanding opportunity for additional sales. There are three Masses on
Sunday morning that will provide excellent foot traffic. The decision to participate on
Sunday must be made at the time of the application to accommodate event planning.

St. John Vianney's Prayer for Priests
God, please give to Your Church today many
more priests after Your own heart. May they be
worthy representatives of Christ the Good
Shepherd. May they wholeheartedly devote
themselves to prayer and penance; be examples
of humility and poverty; shining models of
holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the
Word of God; zealous dispensers of Your grace
in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to
your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his
Mother be the twin fountains for fruitfulness for
their ministry. Amen.
