Christmas at the Cathedral

One of the highlights of Advent each year is “Christmas at the Cathedral”, a special event sponsored by the Mission Outreach Council. This joyous Christmas celebration hosts young children and their families who are supported by two of the Cathedral’s charitable partners — Kid’s Hope and Small Steps — and features a Christmas meal in Reynolds Hall, games for the children, and other elements of Christmas cheer.

The pandemic compelled us to change the format in 2020 and the same is true again this year. Instead of inviting families to a party at the Cathedral, we will deliver Christmas gift packages to 50 families on December 11 and 12. Each package will be tailored to the needs of the families and contain a variety of treats including a wonderful Christmas meal for the family, a gift card, a Christmas card, and a blessing from our clergy. Christmas meals will again be prepared by Epicurean Group under the watchful eye of Cathedral parishioner, Patti Ramsey. The Youth Council will help prepare the gift boxes and Kids Hope mentors and Small Steps volunteers will join us to deliver the packages.
