For our field trip this year, we will be traveling to the Cathedral in St. Paul on Wednesday, May 25th. We will start off with lunch at Red Cow Restaurant in St. Paul, and then walk to the Cathedral. The walk will take us through a beautiful area with historical mansions and parks along the way, including the James J. Hill House. Mr. Niemann will be our tour guide! This is his neighborhood and he knows it well. We will end with a guided tour of the Cathedral. The Church grants a plenary indulgence to those making a pilgrimage to the Cathedral.

The dress code for the day is to wear your Mater Dei t-shirt with the icon of Mary and Jesus. Other than that, you may be out of uniform. Keep in mind that we will be at Mass in the morning, and we will also be spending time in the Cathedral, so clothing should be neat, clean, and appropriate....no holes in jeans, etc. If shorts are worn, they must be no more than three inches above the knee. Also, be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.

We will be placing our lunch order the day before the trip so it will be ready when we arrive at the Red Cow Restaurant for our reservation at 11:00. Please take a look at the lunch menu, and submit your order to Mr. Lemke on Schoology by Tuesday, May 24th.
