Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

CATHEDRAL NOTES


DEAN'S FORUM SUNDAY
Topic: The Spirituality of
Pastoral Care

FIT ANGEL TREE
The deadline for returning gifts is Monday, December 9.
This will be our fifth year to partner with the Family Intervention Team (FIT) Specialists of the Mobile Police Department to provide gifts at Christmas to 20 children ranging in age from 5 to 18 years. Our task is to provide one special Christmas gift for each child and money to allow the officers to take the children shopping.

Our FIT Angel Christmas Tree decorated with gift and or cash donation requests is in the Chapter House now. Our goal is to have 100% of our cards taken and filled. This would mean that 20 children would each receive both a Christmas gift and a Visa gift card. The cash goal is $2000. To reach our goal we need everyone's help. If you have any questions, please contact Angela in the Cathedral office.
