Please join us at coffee hour on Sunday, January 8, where we will get an opportunity to honour Bruce for all that he has done for our Cathedral community.

 Thank You!

A huge thank you to all who assisted with the wonderful Cathedral Café Christmas Dinner on December 25, with particular and sincere thanks to Richard Cunningham and Gen McIntyre for taking the lead on this! All of you made such a difference to so many people. The meal was delicious and the fellowship and community wonderful. We thank you all !   

   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.    

Earlier this month you picked up Dean Tim’s Christmas 2022 letter or it was mailed to you.
We recognize that this is an expensive time of the year in an era of high inflation and economic uncertainty. Every time one turns around, there seems to be another hand outreached asking for help.

Even so, we want to ask you to consider the ministries of Christ’s Church Cathedral when giving gifts this year. The generosity of so many, keeps our programs up and running. Without your help it becomes more challenging for us to be a welcoming place of worship, learning, and refuge. How will you help the ministries of your Cathedral flourish?

The new frontal is a gift from Bishop Ralph and Archdeacon Ken Patterson in memory of The Rev. Canon Peter Ford and The Rev. Canon Brian Shoesmith.

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.

Cathedral Café volunteers are looking for a 4 (ideally) or 2 slice toaster for the Myler Hall Kitchen in order to offer toast and bagels to guests at the Cathedral Café—a  warm option on cold days. We are also looking for new underwear, both men's and women's in S, M, L and XL as well as men’s sweaters in small, medium, large, and plus sizes.         

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

 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
