I AM THE CATHEDRAL
I was raised a Catholic, here on Long Island. My faith has always been very important to me and I raised my children Catholic and they were confirmed at the main Diocese in Rockville Center.
 
When my wife, Devin, came to the Cathedral in 2012, I accompanied her and I began to love the Episcopal services. I especially loved the choir.  As time went on, we both became more involved in the ministries of the Cathedral.  I have been an usher for three years, a member of the St Luke Altar Guild committee and have just become a Lay Eucharistic Minister.  I love the coffee hours and the community and fellowship of the congregation. I look forward to coming to church each Sunday and am grateful to be part of such a warm and caring community.
 
That is what the Cathedral means to me. And I am the Cathedral.

The walk will take place following our coffee hour after the 9:30am Liturgy. We will begin in front of the Cathedral and will conclude prior to the start of the 11:15am Liturgy.
