Everyone is invited to discover the powerful true story of how a celebrating Belgian priest ministered to the needs of thousands of marginalized, abandoned men, women and children with incurable and thought-to-be highly contagious people and living in exile. As part of our 175th anniversary celebrations, Chicago sports icon Wayne Messmer will transform into the title role of “Damien” in a one-man play by Aldyth Morris on Sunday, March 2 at 7:30pm in the Cathedral.
