May Fete

This year our annual May Fete celebration is May 2, and we are excited to get back to our traditions of crowning a May Fete king and queen, the Maypole dance, and cutting the ribbon. There will be light food and beverages, live music, crafts, and a cakewalk.

We will hold three services simultaneously at 10 a.m. – a service in Spanish in Sanders Hall, a Rite I service using the 1892 prayer book liturgy in the Cathedral, and a Rite II Bluegrass mass outside in Nancy’s Garden. The festivities will follow immediately after the services and go until about 12:30 p.m. And if you want to participate from home, Rev. Canon Becky Zartman will be hosting a May Fete Zoom hangout at 11 a.m.

In order to attend May Fete (the post-service festivities,) you must register for one of the three services taking place at 10 a.m.

Due to limited space available for social distancing, registration is required to attend all in-person worship services. This Sunday, May 2, we will have in-person worship at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Register via the links below:
