Sacred garments, artifacts to be highlighted in Cathedral exhibit

What we wear is important.

Our clothing, our uniforms say something about us and the work we do.

This is especially true for priests and those in religious life – and even more so for the sacred vestments worn at Mass.

An exhibit at St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha called “In the Lord’s Service: Garments and Artifacts” will feature more than three centuries of sacred clothing.

The artifacts will be on display from May 26 through Aug. 4 at the Cathedral Cultural Center’s Sunderland Gallery.

Special receptions will be held May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., June 20 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and July 18 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Gallery hours run from noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays and from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays.

The exhibit is a collaboration of St. Cecilia Cathedral and the Cathedral Arts Project.
