We invite you to join us in person or on our YouTube channel for our upcoming Cathedral Chat on Intimate Partner Violence, gender-based violence and sexual violence, impacting many individuals and families.  People across all economical, cultural and social backgrounds are affected.  It is critical that we promote healthy relationships in our community to help reduce gender-based violence.

Our dynamic panel of presenters will:

• share lived experience
• Identify the community supports available in our City of Hamilton
• Provide actions that can be taken for the eradication of Intimate Partner Violence, gender-based violence, and sexual violence 
• And so much more!

Included is a Q & A after the presentations.
Please meet our panelists: (In-depth Bios are available here.)

As part of the liturgy for the Easter Vigil, and at every Baptism, we are called to renew our baptismal covenant including the question:

"Will you strive to safeguard the integrity of God's creation, and respect, sustain and renew the life of the Earth?"  Our response is "I will, with God's help."

CJC 's Action of the Month helps us live out this promise by encouraging us to pray, become informed, speak out about climate breakdown, and reduce our carbon footprint.  We can reduce food waste, drive less, buy less, save energy at home, plant trees and native species, and support environmental groups.  

That’s our role and responsibility as stewards of creation.  Let’s tell our friends and colleagues!

Cuba's electrical grid collapses amid U.S. oil blockade.

*Headline from The Guardian March 16th, 2026

Humanitarian demands have  increased in Cuba due to Hurricane Melissa and the cessation of oil being shipped via Venezuela.  Millions in Cuba are vulnerable.  They have critical shortages of fuel, medicine, food, and water. 

Alongside Hope is continuing its longtime support of the Episcopal church in Cuba. This year’s focus has been on solar generators to insure clean water independent of the grid.  Please remember Cuba in your prayers.  Every day is a new crisis but Alongside Hope is partnering here at home and overseas to be a trusted ally. 

What are your gifts? What do you have in abundance? And how can you give that into the world (maybe even into our church) willingly, and with joy?

Each of us have situations that really matter to us, that tug at our hearts.

When we offer our gifts into these situations, we live from abundance thinking. And our giving helps us to spreads our love and inspires others to do the same. Keep your eyes and ears open in Christ’s Church Cathedral.

People in this congregation are giving their gifts freely every day, usually so quietly, and in ways that create even more abundance, inspiration and relationship.

We encourage you to notice, and maybe start a list of ways you can see this happening.

Thank you, thank you, for all that you give to this community.
