 Many thanks to the team, led by Elizabeth Wensley, for the refreshments following the service this Sunday!

On Sunday, July 3, our worship schedule changes to one Sunday service at 9:30 am for the summer.   

  Please note that the regular Friday Litany of Reconciliation will not be held on July 1st (Canada Day).   

 With the sixth wave of the pandemic receding across Ontario, we are pleased to share the news that Bishop Susan Bell has moved the diocese from the Amber to Green Stage of its pandemic framework effectively pausing many of our most restrictive practices.

Accordingly, masking will become optional in most situations and physical contact will be possible at the Peace for those who wish. This Sunday, communion will be offered in one kind (bread) only as we have been doing. We will be reviewing how we might be able to offer the common cup in the weeks ahead for those who wish to receive both bread and wine. But even after the common cup is introduced, we will continue to offer communion in one kind as an option for those who choose not to drink from the chalice.

We will share updates with those attending worship and programs at the cathedral in both the Chronicle and at the beginning of services.

Basic pandemic best practices continue to be encouraged. These include practicing good hand and respiratory hygiene, staying home if feeling unwell, and maintaining physical distance as much as possible. While optional, we encourage the continued use of masks. Please remain aware that the needs and comfort level among individuals varies and be mindful in how you interact with others.

We hope and pray that we will be able to remain in the Green Stage through much of the fall, if not longer, and that this is welcome news. We want to hear from you, particularly if you are uncomfortable with these changes. Please don’t hesitate to contact the office by phone or at cathedral@niagaraanglican.ca.   

 One of the ways you can make a real difference in the Cathedral's cash flow is by making your offering via pre-authorized debit from your bank account. This is true year-round, but it's especially important during the summer months. If you're lucky you'll be away on vacation for a while this summer, but the Cathedral's expenses don't go on holiday. 

Pre-authorized withdrawals are a great solution, as your offering is received whether you're here or not. To set up pre-authorized giving for the first time, you'll need to complete the authorization form on the Diocese of Niagara's website, available here. Once the form is complete with a void blank cheque attached, return it to the Cathedral office or put it in the donation box at the back of the church clearly marked "Pre-authorized gift form." It's important to know that you can cancel or change your pre-authorized gift at any time by completing the same form.

If you're an envelope user and just aren't comfortable with pre-authorized withdrawals, you can help tremendously by filling your envelopes with post-dated cheques in advance to cover the period you'll be gone. Then, just put them in the donation box at the back of the church as usual before you leave.

As always, the Generosity Team thanks you so much for your financial support of our beautiful church and vibrant community!   

 All are welcome to receive communion and gluten-free wafers are available. Please relay your request through one of our greeters.     

 If you would like to place flowers on the altar or at the chancel steps to honour or to celebrate your loved ones, please contact Donelle de Vlaming   (289-239-9649).

In July and August we have one flower arrangement at the altar and the cost will be $80.
