The Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is Canada's National Walk for Homelessness.  The walk raises money for folks in our community who need our help. Some of them hungry, more than a few hurting and regrettably, some who are homeless too. We will be walking for the Helping Hands Street Mission, a neighbour on Barton St. E.  Last year, over 31,000 walkers across Canada joined this event raising just under $12 million dollars – Christ’s Cathedral was one of the teams with 18 people, contributing more than $4000. 

Please connect with the team captain, Kerry Lubrick (kerryllubrick@gmail.com or 905-679-2818) with any questions

  Join us for our monthly Wrestling Angels gathering led by Reverend Jeff!  

Our next meeting date will be February 8, from 7-9pm in the Living Room at the Cathedral.   

Wrestling Angels is a chance to engage with the stories of scripture in a casual setting , as we learn to ask questions of the text and encounter God in the most unlikely of places.     

 Join Matthew Green  weekly for a lectionary study after the 2nd service each week.   

   The Prayer Shawl Knitters Group has made available to the parish a wonderful abundance of both prayer shawls and lap blankets. If you happen to know of anyone who might be in need and might benefit from one of these beautiful items, please contact the parish office either in person or at cathedral.admin@niagaraanglican.ca   

The Cathedral has now resumed the passing of Offering Plates. The plates will be passed by the Greeters and brought to the altar with the elements. You may recall this was suspended at the beginning of the pandemic, when there was uncertainty about how the virus was spread, and replaced by a box near the Narthex. At the Offertory, we offer back some of what God has given us, symbolically in the bread and wine, and in our contributions toward the work of the church. All are invited to support the sharing of God’s love with the world through giving by Pre-Authorized Payment, online through our website (for details, please use link below) or by weekly envelope.    

Current guidelines encourage mask wearing, particularly in crowded, enclosed, and close-contact settings. Effective immediately, Bishop Susan is strengthening guidance to mirror the chief medical officer of health's strong recommendation that masks be worn in indoor settings. By doing so, and applying additional layers of protection, we will not only protect ourselves but our most vulnerable neighbours. In this way, we are also bearing strong witness to God's call to love our neighbours.

 If you would like to place flowers at the altar or at the chancel steps to honour or to celebrate your loved ones, please contact

Donelle de Vlaming (289-239-9649).

The donation for the flowers is $130
