 Welcome Bruce!      

This Sunday marks the first Sunday with our new Director of Music, Bruce Burbidge.

Bruce brings with him a wealth of experience and an enthusiasm to bring beautiful music to our Cathedral. In his own words:

"It feels great to be here at Christ's Church Cathedral, helping to spread the Good News of God's love through music. I have just returned to Canada after over 40 years based in England, making music and also being active in other aspects of Christian ministry. I look forward to getting to know you all better, and to exploring together how to make music best serve our community and mission."

Please join us in welcoming Bruce as he assumes his new role!

Welcome Bruce!

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?

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.

 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
