On Sunday, February 4^th we will share our Emergency Action Plan with the congregation. There will be ONE MASS ONLY at 10:00 am (no 8:30 am service) so the entire parish can be together as we learn about the Plan. In place of the Sermon, Bobbie Powell and Mary Johnson will make the presentation to the congregation.

Join us for our Lenten Series – Weekly reflections on “How We Learn to Be Brave” by Bishop Mariann Budde will be led by Canon Dr. Phil Lewis. Wednesdays, February 21^st and 28^th, and March 6^th, 13^th and 20^th. Sessions will be held via Zoom from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. For more information, please speak with Phil or Dean John.

We are immensely grateful for all that Susan Remmers has done to manage the altar flowers and decorations for the Cathedral. As Sue has now “retired” from this ministry, with immediate effect, anyone interested in sponsoring altar flowers, please contact the Cathedral office. All arrangements for flowers and decorations will be handled through the office. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

If you are interested in helping the Food Pantry, we can especially use one or two volunteers who can lift up to 50 pounds – We have folks who can pack our food bags, but they require assistance lifting cases of canned goods onto the packing tables and moving the packed bags into place to be handed out. Can you fill this need? Please call Lourdez “Cookie” Hernandez at (609) 902-8282.
