The Cathedral honors its heritage with a celebration of Absalom Jones through the music of African American composers on Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00 P.M.

Jones, a former slave who purchased his freedom, was the first African American to be ordained a priest in 1802. The Cathedral Choir, professional soloists, and the choirs of Mercyhurst University join to feature the little-known Mass by Florence Price, along with works by H.T. Burleigh and his contemporaries.

This is event is free and open to the public.
