From the Desk of Dean Andy • 3.13.2026

The Vestry, clergy, and I had a great retreat at the end of February, and a great time was had by those of us who attended EPN. Both events were informative and full of great conversation. We focused on/learned about parish growth, connecting new members to ministry and service, congregational development and vitality, and ways to strengthen our connections with one another and the community at large. Part of accomplishing all of this is through the committee work we do at the Cathedral. Remember, committees are open to all members of the Cathedral, not just vestry or people picked by the vestry. We need all of you to make our parish what it is, and I invite you to reach out to the following vestry or clergy if you would like to serve on a particular committee.

  • Buildings and Grounds: Nigel Jones, Charles Shipley, Steve King
  • Finance: Steve Moore, Nigel Jones, Bill Boyd, Mathias Nichols
  • Social Action and Outreach: Colin Chambers, Christine Morrison, Janet Sweeting, Dn. Barbara
  • Social Events: Julie Brogno, Colin Chambers, Pat Decker, Steve King
  • Newcomers: Julie Brogno, Canon James
