Upcoming Events

September 24 - Welcome Dean Katz
We will get to know a little more about our next dean and also thank our search committee for bringing him to the Cathedral.

Second Hand Religion Series
Oct. 1, 8, 20, 29; Nov. 5, 12; Dec. 3, 10.
Rev. Katz will introduce the idea of Second-Hand Religion and its connection to the notion of sainthood in the Anglican tradition. He and other members of the Cathedral community will introduce their spiritual ancestors who we celebrate as saints, whether living or dead.

None of us come to our faith alone. While we may have solitary moments of revelation and epiphany, the faith that we claim has been made possible by the actions, teachings and influence of others. Sometimes these are people who have touched our lives directly – our parents, pastors, Sunday School teachers. In other instances, our faith is shaped by individuals whom we will never meet but who have had a profound impact on our understanding of who we are to be and how we are to live as beloved children of God.

This community that we call Christ Church Cathedral is a product of the great cloud of witnesses that have led each and every one of us to our life of faith. This fall our Cathedral embarks on a new chapter of life and ministry with the arrival of a new Dean. It is a perfect moment for us as a community to reflect on, and give thanks for those individuals from whom we have inherited our faith. In doing so, we will come to a deeper appreciation of our spiritual roots – as individuals and as a community.

Dean Katz will begin our journey by introducing the idea of Second Hand Religion and its connection to the notion of sainthood in the Anglican tradition. Over the following weeks Dean Katz and other members of the Cathedral community will introduce their spiritual ancestors who we celebrate as saints, whether living or dead.

The larger Cathedral community will be invited to reflect on their spiritual ancestors throughout the fall, and we’ll take All Saints’ Weekend, November 3-5, to celebrate those ancestors as we celebrate a new season in the Cathedral’s life with the installation of Nat Katz as the ninth Dean of Christ Church.

This series will be an opportunity for us to deepen our bonds with one another as we deepen our appreciation for those whose lives and example has made possible the life in faith that unites us as the people of Christ Church Cathedral.

We are grateful to donors who graciously make one-time gifts, annual pledges, ongoing planned giving, and who find other ways to offer their help forwarding the work of our ministries.
