 In 2008 the Cathedral started to produce Christmas  cards using images from the stained- glass windows in our Cathedral in  response to people who wished to see Nativity scenes and a greeting that included the word “Christmas”. 

Cards will be on sale this Sunday for $1.25 each.

The Visual Guide to Christ’s Church Cathedral will also be available for $10.00 per copy.  The guide provides a self-guided tour of the building with many photos and short explanatory text.

The weather was beautiful on Sunday morning as we gathered outside in Bishopsgate Garden to participate in a dedication ceremony for our Celtic cross and statue of St. Francis of Assisi.

These lovely items were donated to Christ’s Church Cathedral by Bishop Ralph Spence and  installed by Derek Smith and Turner Shaw.   

Bishop Susan will be speaking about her experiences at the Lambeth Conference this past summer on Friday, October 14th at the parish of St. John the Evangelist, Locke Street. All are welcome.
