"Therefore, let us be concerned for our children and for ourselves as well, as we educate ourselves and them, let us beg God to help us in our task. If God sees that we care about this, God will help us. If we are unconcerned, God will not give us his hand." St. Chrysostom

| Greetings!
 | | The Rev. Lorna Williams |
The above quote comes from St.Chrysostom, also known as "Golden Mouth" for his outstanding preaching during the 5th century. Back then and through today many congregations have placed great importance on the Christian formation of young people. We here at St. John's follow in that great tradition of the spiritual nurture of our children and teenagers.
I am so pleased to join the cathedral as the Canon for Youth & Christian Formation, also known as the Youth Priest. Ministering with children and teenagers has been my lifelong work, before and during my 12 years of ordained ministry. I have been privileged to teach children how to pray, remind youth of the loving presence of God and bring babies into the community of Christ through baptism. Read more.
