Catholic New York - Cathedral Mass Commemorates Seven New Saints

Pope Paul VI has the distinction of being the first pope to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, on Oct. 4, 1965. More than half a century later, this past Oct. 14, the new saint of the Church—one of seven blesseds declared saints by Pope Francis in Rome that day—was remembered at Masses at the cathedral, including the 10:15 a.m. liturgy celebrated by Msgr. Robert Ritchie, the cathedral rector.
