You are welcome to join us for coffee hour immediately following the 10:00 AM Mass, in our parish hall (go down the ramp toward the parking lot doors; the entrance to Synod Hall is on the left, directly across from the church office.)

There are Lent calendars for adults, teens and children on the literature table in the main hallway and on the “ship table” in the Cathedral. Please take one to support your daily prayers for Lent.

This week we will bag food for the Food Pantry. Please join us on Thursday, March 20th at 4:45pm.

Each Thursday in Lent through April 10th, we will observe the Stations of the Cross at 8:00 pm via Zoom (in place of our usual Rosary Devotions.) If you would like to participate, please call the office (a link will be E-mailed.)

It’s time to prepare for our Easter egg hunt! – On Sunday, April 20th we will host our annual East egg hunt on the grounds of the Cathedral (weather permitting). Can you contribute to the egg hunt? We don’t actually need any more eggs (thankfully – have you seen the price of eggs lately?) What we DO need are egg fillers: candy, coins and very small toys and prizes that can fit inside. Please bring your contributions to the Cathedral office. Thanks!

Our 2025 Lenten Series – What are the collects of the Church? How can these beautiful prayers help to strengthen our faith by reminding us of God’s goodness, mercy, and love? Join us on Wednesday evenings in Lent as we explore these deep truths, how they connect to Scripture, and how we can inwardly digest them as food for our Lenten journey. We’ll meet via Zoom from 7 – 8:30 PM for five consecutive Wednesday evenings (March 12th – April 9th). There is nothing to purchase, you’ll just want to have a Bible for reference. If you need the Zoom link, please contact the Cathedral office.

New Parish Directory coming in Spring 2025! – On the “ship table” and the literature table in the main hallway, you will find blank member profile forms. Please fill one out and submit it to the cathedral office, or turn it in to an Usher on Sunday. We will use this information to complete the new parish directory for 2025. (If there is any information you wish to keep unpublished, simply indicate this on the form. Thanks!)

The next Food Pantry distribution date is – Saturday, March 22nd (2nd & 4th Saturdays this month) from 9-11:00 am.

Each Thursday, we distribute hot dinners “to go” from 4:15–5:30pm at the Overbrook Avenue entrance as a satellite location for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
