On Remembrance Sunday there will be displayed, at the back of the church, five Active Service Roll albums detailing the men and women from Hamilton who served in the Canadian Armed Forces during WWI and WWII.
These books are the property of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire now known as IODE.
Some members of the Cathedral may have relatives whose family members served in these wars. Their photographs and biographies are recorded in these albums.
Please feel free to peruse these albums as some of your own family history may be contained within them.
These volumes will be returned to the archives department at the public Library at the end of the week.
For more information please ask Jennifer Early.

Art Crawl is a wonderful way to engage with the community and to celebrate our beautiful Cathedral!  Join us in the community and in the Cathedral every 2nd Friday of the month.

On November 17, Bishop Susan Bell will install this year's nominees from Brock, Hamilton-Haldimand, and Lincoln to the Order of Niagara at a special service held at the Cathedral.

On November 24, nominees from Greater Wellington and Trafalgar regions will also be installed by the Bishop at a special service at the Cathedral.

The Cathedral thanks all those who so generously donated summer clothing to our Café guests.  Summer is now over and we are looking ahead to another Canadian winter.

Our doors are open one Sunday per month for anyone to drop in for peace and reflection in the middle of our busy city.  Feel free to light a candle, say a prayer, or just sit quietly in this beautiful space.

If you have any questions during your visit, there is someone on hand from our Cathedral Community.

DRIVE LESS!

If you can, walk, carpool, ride a bike or e-bike, or take transit. 

Why? The average Canadian vehicle emits 206g CO₂ per km, and the average car lasts for roughly 320,000km.  That equals 66 tons of CO₂ for the lifespan of the car!

Impact? Living car-free can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 3.6 tons of CO₂ per year!

Great News! Huge congratulations to everyone who supported the Wild Ride campaign. With 19 teams and 61 participants running, walking, kayaking, reading, knitting, and more we raised $52,300 in celebration of PWRDF’s 65 years of commitment to helping refugees and displaced people.
A true testament to the passion and creativity of our community.
Thank you for making a difference!

Alongside Hope (in French, Auprès de l’espoir).
In 2022, a diverse team of staff, board members, and volunteers  began the process of selecting a name that better reflects PWRDF’s work and mission. Through their discussions, a central theme emerged–the importance of partnerships. PWRDF walks alongside its partners, including the Anglican Church of Canada, local and membership organizations, funding agencies, volunteers, and donors. The new name, Alongside Hope, symbolizes this ongoing journey of support, listening, and shared hope for a better world.
Please note that website and social media updates will begin on March 1, 2025, allowing PWRDF to finish 2024 tax receipts under the PWRDF name. PWRDF is excited about this change and appreciates your continued support.  
To all those who have donated,  your efforts are deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Guest Speakers:  Middle and low income tenants, Dr. Carolyn Whitzman, and Sharlene Henry

This forum is designed to explore:

• How Hamilton and many other Ontario cities have such a severe housing problem, although many cities in countries similar to Canada do not.
• What are the impacts of soaring rents on tenants.
• What genuine, cost-effective solutions will work and what doesn’t work and why.
• What to do, in the meantime, to rein in rents and evictions, and prevent Hamilton from becoming a city of “haves” and anxious “have nots”

At the back of the Cathedral there is a Tap donation device.  You can use your debit or credit card to "tap" and donate $5 to Christ's Church Cathedral.  If you wish to donate more, you can tap up to four times!  Your generosity is appreciated as it allows us to continue to maintain our beautiful facilities and offer innovative ministry to our community. Please note that Tap donations are not eligible for tax receipts.  Thank you!

Please forward items for the Chronicle by 1:00pm on the Wednesday prior to publication to the Cathedral Parish Office, 905-527-1316 x240.
