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.

More specific ideas will be forthcoming over the next few weeks, but your creativity is welcomed. See/call/E-mail Georgia Koenig: (609) 273-3351 or gbkoenig@verizon.net.
