Lumen Gentium - The Light of Nations

Lumen Gentium - The Light of Nations - is the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of the Second Vatican Council. Oftentimes, Catholics are of the opinion that the central teaching of Vatican II had to do with liturgical reform. However, the crux and the focus of Vatican II was on the understanding of the Church, its Structure, People, and Mission. This five-week Cathedral Lenten series will be held on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:00 pm and will provide an overview of the purpose and main points of this important Constitution of the Second Vatican Council.
