2024 Stewardship Update – Thank you to all who have pledged your support to the Cathedral for 2024! We currently have 67 pledging units, totaling $234,850 – an average of $3,505. If you would like a pledge card, please speak with Willie Coleman, J. Gil Williams or Dean John.
If you have not yet pledged for 2024, please consider turning in your card now – We need to assign envelope numbers and get them to everyone to use them in the new year. Also, please use your NEW box of envelopes in 2024 – DO NOT use older boxes. This ensures that all of your donations will be posted to your pledge. Envelope boxes are on the “ship table” in the Cathedral.
