2012 Stewardship Campaign Begins
In the coming days, all parishioners will receive a letter from the Dean and materials for the 2012 Stewardship Campaign: One Bread. One Body. I hope you will take the time to review the material and prayerfully consider a pledge of financial support of the Cathedral in the coming year. Your pledge allows the Cathedral to function on a day to day basis and signifies your commitment to this Cathedral community. Plan on joining your fellow parishioners on Sunday, December 11 for the annual procession of pledges at all services.
