CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL An Episcopal Parish in the Heart of Houston
May 1, 2011
May Fete is coming Sunday, May 1! Following a combined 10 a.m. bilingual service by Lisa Puccio
O
n Sunday, May 1 the entire Cathedral community is invited to join together for a combined bilingual Eucharist service at 10:00 and then to stay and spend the day enjoying our special springtime tradition. It takes a lot of commitment to plan and execute a community event in a downtown urban parish like ours, but we have a wonderful group of people who have contributed their time, talent and treasure to plan this year’s annual May Fete. When the first May Fete celebrations were held, Christ Church was a neighborhood parish where ladies’ groups sponsored many social events. Today this is an urban cathedral in every sense. Our community reflects the widest array of interests and backgrounds, and yet on this day we all gather to celebrate our combined community of faith. The Christ Church Cathedral May Fete is an old tradition with a modern mission: to bring all of us together to celebrate our future. Every council and almost all other parish organizations will be represented—from staffing booths and sponsoring games to preparing lunch and grilling hot dogs. It’s an amazing effort on the part of an amazing community. As our young children celebrate their school year and as the fifth graders move on, we initiate them into a community of love and hope and Christian action. Come and be a part of this spring celebration of youth and of growth—of the future of a living and growing urban parish.
