Spring Cleaning Day at the Cathedral
View previous posts

Our annual spring cleaning this Lent was on Saturday morning, March 29, organized once more by Kh. Colleen and Fr. Robert Polson. There was very good participation and lots of good work was done. Kh. Colleen also had a drawing for each age group to win a prize. Here Ian Burton cleans the sand in the candle boxes. Hannah Hanna and her son Ronan clean the Vigil lamps in the Cathedral kitchen.

Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Throughout history and unfortunately far too often in modern times, greatness becomes equated to those who have obtained power, fame, fortune. In this view, money, influence, and the accumulation of wealth become the benchmarks of success... Christ gives us another way. That through sacrifice and humility, we become great by being last. Becoming great by putting others before ourselves.'” - Subdn. Tim Mellor, March 29, 2026-

"One Accord"

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

Everybody can be great..., because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. - Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
