​200 Years of Catholic Presents in Wilmington,  Delaware**
"​Most histories tell us that the first Masses in Wilmington were celebrated in the 1790/s when French refugees arrived from Haiti.  But Catholicism had made its appearance a decade earlier than that during the Revolutionary War.
            French Soldiers in 1782 were billeted in the Wilmington Academy, roughly where the Grand Opera House now is.  Catholic army chaplains said Mass there. 
The Ordinary!
Who does God use to accomplish the extraordinary?
On Sunday, October 21st at 3PM,  the Cathedral of St. Peter, 6th and West Streets, Wilmington, DE  will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the  1918 Austin Opus 807  pipe organ with a special organ recital.  The recital will feature six organists and other instrumentalists to mark the occasion with many classical organ works and congregational hymns.  A special arrangement of the hymn, “All Creatures of Our God and King” has been composed by Dr. David Herman for the recital.  The organ was built in 1918 and has been renovated by Michael Davidson, the Director of Liturgical Music over 23 years with the addition of new pipes to modernize the sound of the organ for Liturgical and major repairs to the pipe organ.  In 2006, a new three manual console with modern computer switching technology was installed to replace the original console by the Peragallo Organ Company, Paterson, NJ.  The recital is free and open to the public.

“Mission is never the fruit of a perfectly planned program or a well-organized manual. Mission is always the fruit of a life which knows what it is to be found and healed, encountered and forgiven. Mission is born of a constant experience of God’s merciful anointing.”​  Pope Francis
