Cornerstone Time Capsule Tomorrow

The Time Capsule that was unsealed after 100 years in celebration of the Cathedral's Centennial Anniversary will be replaced tomorrow after the 11:00 AM Mass. Bishop Wester will place the new time capsule, containing updated information and historical material, into the cornerstone of the Cathedral, to be sealed for another 100 years. Celebrating the work of the Church in Utah in these 100 years past, the time capsule will be reopened in the year 2109.

Included in the capsule is extensive history about the diocese, and more locally a great deal of information about the choir school. There is a large photo album featuring our students, faculty and staff. Additionally, two recordings of the choir have also been placed in the capsule (although archivists are worried that they may not be playable in 2109 because of the rapidly changing formats.)

With gratitude to God for the first 100 years, we embark on this next century ready to advance God's kingdom of justice, mercy and love. May we be given the grace to faithfully and selflessly carry on this great legacy.
