This Sunday, we mark Trinity Sunday. Trinity Sunday is the only principal feast of the Church that commemorates a reality and doctrine rather than a person or event. Falling on the Sunday after Pentecost, we celebrate the Holy and Undivided Trinity as the final…
Dear Friends – A busy long weekend is ahead! We celebrate the Feast of Pentecost on Sunday, followed by the annual Parish Picnic. The Cathedral will provide the traditional grilled burgers, hot dogs and vegan options; please bring a side dish or dessert to…
