Flyers with the checklist of requested food items will be available at the main entrance of the Cathedral beginning this Sunday, November 8th. Nonperishable items may be left at the main entrance and will be collected on Sundays from November 8th through November 22nd. PLEASE NOTE: Fresh or frozen turkeys and chickens may only be dropped off at the Cathedral on Sunday November 22nd between the hours of 7:30am and 12:30pm due to storage limitations.
