Welcome to the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary & St Matthew
Jesus compels us to fight evil through the power of good. Our society tends to view evil as strong and goodness as weak. However, nothing could be further from the truth. It is easy to hold a grudge. On the contrary, it is difficult to forgive.
