There are Advent calendars for adults and youth on the literature table in the main hallway – please take them to enjoy at home!
Thank you to all who have pledged your support to the Cathedral for 2024! We currently have 52 pledging units, totaling $184,030 – an average of $3,593 per pledging unit. If you would like a pledge card, please speak with Willie Coleman, J. Gil Williams or Dean John.
Can you help with the Greening? – The greening of the Cathedral will take place on Saturday, December 16 from 8:00 am – Noon. Many hands make light work, so please consider lending a hand as we get our Cathedral beautified for Christmas! For more information or to RSVP, please speak with Sue Remmers or Dean John.
On December 31st, our Associate Custodian Michael “PJ” Pettyjohn will retire after fifteen years of service to the Cathedral! – We would like to celebrate his time with us on December 10th after the 10:00am Eucharist. If anyone is so moved you may express your appreciation to PJ directly. We will also put together an offering to him and you are welcome to contribute to this, if you would prefer. Any such contribution to this gift can be turned in to the Cathedral Administrator, Patrice D’Angelo in the office. Checks can be made out to the Cathedral, but please note “Michael Pettyjohn” on the memo line.
