FROM THE DEAN OUR ATLANTA HISTORY
VISION AND MISSION
Before we were designated the cathedral parish of Atlanta, St. Philip’s Episcopal Church was established in 1846 with five communicants. Our first building was across from the new State Capitol on what is now the corner of Washington Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. By 1875 we were the largest Episcopal parish in Georgia, and in 1904, we became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Georgia. (All of the state was one diocese at that time.) We were in our third building. By the 1930s the streets of Atlanta had been built up higher than the entrance to St. Philip’s, and much of the parish had moved away. In 1933, under the leadership of the courageous Dean Raimundo De Ovies, St. Philip’s Cathedral moved to its present location. The “little gray church” was built atop the hill at Andrews Drive and Peachtree, with its doors opening to the city. The present Mikell Chapel was finished in 1947. De Ovies Memorial Hall, planned to house offices for both the Cathedral and the Diocese, was completed in 1951. The parish hall was completed in 1955. The grand Cathedral proper (replacing the little gray church) was dedicated and first used in 1962, and it was consecrated in 1980 when debt was retired. Now more than 170 years old, the Cathedral of St. Philip seeks to continue its history of service to the city and Diocese of Atlanta. We hope that our beacon on the hill can deliver the light of Jesus Christ to the world. We seek to be a Christian community of faith, willing and able to let the light of Jesus shine not just in ourselves but in the world around us!
Every year God gives us a new way to present the vision and mission of the Cathedral of St. Philip. We have described our mission as: “to know Christ and to make Christ known.” We have used the mission statement in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer: “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (page 855). In recent years we have used the phrase “to serve.” We serve one another with love and honor. We serve the city, the diocese, and the world. What do we serve? We serve, that is, we offer the grace, excellence, and hospitality of Jesus Christ our Lord. We have understood our mission as “a light on the hill.” We are a beacon set on the hill at Peachtree and Andrews, shining the light of Jesus Christ. How do we now describe our mission? It has to be a continuation of God’s light. We believe that God is still saying to the community of the Cathedral of St. Philip, “Let your light shine!” We have only just begun. “Let your light shine” also refers to God’s light in our hearts. God has given every Cathedral believer a measure of light and grace. It is our mission to “let that light shine.” Shine some grace on your friend or neighbor! Jesus said not only that “I am the light of the world” ( John 8:12), but he also said, “You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

SUNDAY WORSHIP Unless otherwise noted, each Sunday service of worship at the Cathedral includes the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, the principal act of worship on the Lord’s Day. The structure of Word and Sacrament features a sermon and an opportunity for the congregation to receive Christ.
9 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST
7:45 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST
The 11:15 a.m. Eucharist presents the splendor of the Christian faith in its most glorious Anglican fashion. Our music, prayers, and sermons draw upon the finest sources of our tradition.
A consistent community meets in Mikell Chapel, the oldest structure in the Cathedral, at 7:45 a.m. for a traditional liturgy without music. The service is quiet and meditative. We use the Rite I liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer.
8:45 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST The attendance at the 8:45 a.m. service is the largest and most diverse of the parish. We rejoice and laugh with the children who are a large presence here: the sermons, prayers, and hymns are intentionally developed to have a wide and educational appeal. This service maintains the grandeur and grace of the Anglican tradition, while offering community and fellowship for young families. Should one be coming to the Episcopal Church from another tradition, this is our most accessible service.

The 9 a.m. service celebrates our most traditional (Rite I) Eucharist with organ music and hymns in the beautiful intimacy of Mikell Chapel. The small community offers the feel of being in a typical Episcopal parish.
11:15 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST
11:15 A.M. LA SANTA EUCARISTÍA This service is in Spanish to welcome the Hispanic community to the Cathedral parish. The service gathers in Mikell Chapel and is led by Deacon Juan Sandoval and other clergy on staff.
4 P.M. EVENSONG Choral Evensong, sung Evening Prayer, is one of the jewels of the Anglican tradition. Most of the service is sung by the choir. At the conclusion of Evensong, a traditional “liturgy of the table” is offered for those in our Cathedral community who desire Holy Communion. Occasionally, a Choral Eucharist, a Diocesan Confirmation, or a special sung service of prayer takes the place of 4 p.m. Evensong.

MUSIC Nearly 50 adult volunteer singers, 12 staff singers, 30 choristers (children and youth), and three volunteer organists, along with our assistant organist-choirmaster, associate organist-choirmaster and the canon for music provide music for approximately 225 Cathedral services and 75 weddings and funerals each year. Opportunities to become involved in the Cathedral’s music ministry are as follows:
CATHEDRAL CHOIR The Cathedral Choir is an auditioned group of volunteers and professional singers. This choir sings for the 11:15 a.m. service each Sunday, for the 8:45 a.m. service once a month, and for various special liturgies throughout the liturgical year. The Cathedral Choir presents major sacred choral works in concert, typically once per season and often with orchestra; has recorded two compact discs for international release by Gothic Records; and has undertaken pilgrimages to England to serve as choir-in-residence at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and the cathedrals in Canterbury, Durham, Salisbury, and York.
CATHEDRAL SCHOLA The Cathedral Schola is a highly skilled chamber choir of auditioned singers selected from the Cathedral Choir. The Schola sing Evensong, Choral Eucharists, and services of Lessons and Carols at 4 p.m. on most Sundays September through May, and performs occasional concerts on their own or with the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra.
10
CATHEDRAL CHORISTERS The Cathedral Chorister program is a broadly conceived educational opportunity for children that integrates musical training and Christian formation while nurturing development of the whole person. The Chorister program is open to boys in third grade to voice change, and to girls in third grade through high school. Novices and junior choristers sing for the 8:45 a.m. service once or twice a month and senior choristers sing two Sundays a month, typically with professional members of the Cathedral Choir. All choristers sing for special services on All Saints’ Sunday, Christmas Eve, Maundy Thursday, and Easter Day, and join with the Cathedral Schola to sing Choral Evensong twice each season. The Choristers rehearse on Monday and/ or Wednesday evenings, September to May. For more information, contact Dr. Patrick Scott at 404-365-1052 or pscott@ stphilipscathedral.org
ALLEGRO: MUSIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN The music and children’s ministries departments jointly sponsor Allegro: Music for Young Children and the Allegro choir for kindergarten, first, and second grades for our pre-choristerage youngsters. Using play, movement, singing, and musical instruments, children develop musical skills and an appreciation for music. The program is divided into groups by age, from birth through second grade. To register your child, contact Timothy Gunter at 404-365-1050 or tgunter@stphilipscathedral.org.

FRIENDS OF CATHEDRAL MUSIC Friends of Cathedral Music exists to enrich the life of the Cathedral and the broader community by helping to facilitate the presentation of major sacred masterworks and other sacred musical encounters that exceed the normal bounds of the Cathedral’s music budget and rich liturgical life – whether performed by our own Cathedral Choirs or by other nationally and internationally renowned choirs and musicians – by providing financial support and hospitality for these programs, and ensuring the availability of necessary professional and volunteer personnel. To join as a supporting member, donations may be made online or sent to the music office, designated for the Friends of Cathedral Music. The organization is guided by a dedicated volunteer board of directors.
VOLUNTEER MUSICIANS Volunteer organists lead the music in Mikell Chapel each Sunday at 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.Trained and experienced players of a keyboard or any other instrument are welcome to make known their interest in volunteering by contacting the music office. Another opportunity to contribute is by offering your musical talents as a leader for Children’s Chapel. There is a service for 3-year-olds through Kindergarten in the Children’s Chapel, and a service for first through fifth graders in St. Mary’s Chapel during the 8:45 a.m. service on Sunday mornings. If you wish to lead singing or play an instrument for Children’s Chapel, please contact Sara Chapman at 404-9666602 or sarachapman@westminster.net.

ADULT EDUCATION ON SUNDAY By virtue of our baptism, all of us are called to ministry, whether ordained or not. Our adult education offerings seek to help us live into that call, through teaching about our Scriptures, traditions, practices; cultivating skills for ministry; engaging together in theological reflection and crucial conversations; and building communities of spiritual support. Sunday classes start at 10:10 a.m.

BOOK GROUPS AND MONTHLY GROUPS HART READERS AT THE CATHEDRAL BOOK STORE
First Wednesday of each month
On first Wednesdays, from 6:30–7:30 p.m., readers from the church and the broader community gather around the Cathedral Book Store, to discuss contemporary books and issues from a theological perspective. Discussions are facilitated by various clergy and lay teachers.
BILL’S BOOK CLUB (BBC)
First Sunday of each month
Every first Sunday, a merry band of readers gathers in Walthour Library to explore books together and plumb their depths for spiritual growth. The group is facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Bill Harkins. For more information, contact Ruth Marley, rmga4920@aol.com.
CREATIVITY AND SPIRITUALITY BOOK GROUP Join us to explore our creativity using the book Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert (available in paperback at the Cathedral Book Store). We’ll meet on Wednesday mornings, September 6 – October 11, 10-11:30 a.m. in Room 120.

For the fall, we’ll be meeting on September 7, October 5, November 9, and December 7. For spring dates and for more information, contact Canon Wallace Marsh, wmarsh@stphilipscathedral.org.
CO-LISTENING CLASSES Co-listening is a simple but powerful practice where two people take turns listening to each other without interruption. Confidentiality and peercoaching skills make it safer to share as fully as possible. Learning to listen effectively helps release us from distresses rooted in the past and renews our ability to think and function powerfully with care for ourselves and others. Introductory sessions are free and require no commitment; classes are offered on a sliding scale. For more information, contact tsmith@stphilipscathedral.org or visit www.rc.org.
LUNCH AND LEARN
Second Wednesday of each month

404-365-1000 | stphilipscathedral.org |
stphilipscathedral
PASTORAL CARE The Cathedral offers the values of Philip the Deacon—grace, excellence, and hospitality—in the midst difficulty and transition. Philip had the grace to baptize the eunuch. He had the excellence to explain the gospel. Philip had the hospitality to join the Ethiopian eunuch; he got up into the chariot with him (Acts 8:26–40). After Philip baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch, scripture says he is “snatched up” and disappears. This serves as a reminder that our mission is to offer care during transitions. The pastoral care department does not have the experience, personnel, or resources to provide long-term care, case management, or financial assistance. However, we do have the ability to connect you with agencies whose mission is to provide such care.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE The pastoral care guild is composed of volunteers who call upon and visit those on the Cathedral prayer list, and those who are no longer able attend church. This guild meets once a month to discuss best practices in pastoral care and is led by Canon Wallace Marsh, Deacon Juan Sandoval, and Jeannie Mahood. Lay Eucharistic Visitors participate in the Sunday Eucharist as they are sent out to take the sacraments to those who are sick or unable to attend church. This group of volunteers is also invited to participate in the monthly pastoral care guild meetings. In addition to volunteers, we are looking for names of parishioners to visit. Clergy and other volunteers regularly visit Cathedral Towers, Canterbury Court, and Lenbrook Square. In addition to visiting senior communities, Canon Carolynne Williams helps coordinate events and programs for elders. Grief groups meet throughout the year and are designed for those who have lost a loved one and struggling with grief. The grief groups are led by Meg Moye from the Cathedral Counseling Center. The Cathedral has an active prayer list that is prayed by many different groups. We also include the list in our Sunday services. We encourage parishioners to add their names or the name of someone else (with their permission) to the prayer list.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES We believe that children of all ages growing up in the church are formed as much outside the classroom as within it. Helping parents to access age-appropriate ways to participate in and reflect on our liturgical life, our sacred stories, our call to Christian service, our charge to share the Good News, and our shared spiritual life is essential to our ministry with children. The Anglican liturgy is the cornerstone of our identity as Episcopalians and participation in the liturgy is an essential part of children’s Christian formation. Children are always welcome in church, children’s chapels follow the structure of the Liturgy of the Word before children join their parents for Eucharist, and our Sunday School classes are organized to reflect the pattern of gathering, story, response, prayer, feast, and dismissal found in our communal worship. Godly Play is at the heart of our Sunday morning classes and the Godly Play philosophy permeates all that we do with children and families at the Cathedral. In short, that means that we
16
take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story. Seasonal celebrations are occasions for both Christian fellowship and service for children and their families. We take care to mark both the secular and liturgical year with events such as the beginning of the school year back pack blessing, Halloween costume blessing, Advent wreath making, St. Nicholas celebration, Christmas present collection and wrapping, Lenten family services, and Week of Wonder, our Vacation Bible School. EYSeedlings, a junior youth group for fourth and fifth grade students, meets monthly to engage in more Christian fellowship.

NURTURING CENTER AND MOTHER’S MORNING OUT While all children are invited to participate fully in the liturgies here, we understand that some parents are more comfortable having their young children cared for by our professional and loving nurturing center staff during Sunday morning services. The Nurturing Center is open for children four and younger from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service each week. Our Mother’s Morning Out (MMO) is “drop in” care for children three months to four years. MMO is offered Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., August through May, with a charge of $40 per child each day. Reservations are recommended, but drop-offs are welcome when space is available. Each child may attend MMO a maximum of 8 hours per week. There is a registration fee of $45 each fall which must be turned in with the registration form and child’s immunization records. Learn more at stphilipscathedral.org/mmo.
THE MARYS AND MARTHAS This group is a way for parents to be connected with their children’s spiritual formation. Mary sat at Jesus’s feet and listened while Martha bustled about, making the necessary preparations. Each meeting begin with a Godly Play story, including time for reflection. Then, we get to work making sure our Godly Play rooms are as beautiful and carefully prepared as they can be for the children who use them each week. All are welcome, but please sign up in advance so we will be prepared with plenty of wine and snacks!

YOUTH As middle school students begin their journey to find their place in the world beyond their family identity, a firm grasp of their place in the narrative of our faith and touchstones of Episcopal identity become the focus of our programs. The foundation laid in Godly Play is built on through further exploration of story and continuing emphasis on Christian fellowship and service during Sunday School classes, EYC gatherings and mission work, and engagement in the rhythm of parish life outside the youth program. The sacrament of confirmation, the mature affirmation of faith, is explored in eighth grade with particular attention given to the Baptismal Covenant and the youth’s desire to take on the promises, made by parents and godparents at baptism, for themselves, as well as what it truly means to be part of the Episcopal Church. In addition to the study, work, and fellowship available to the middle school youth, high school students have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within the youth community and
the parish at large, assisting with Bible studies, helping to plan youth outings, serving as acolyte team captains, and serving as Senior Choristers. Program highlights for the 2017-2018 year include the continuation of a weekly EYC gathering on Sunday nights, Bible study on Tuesday evenings, and weekly breakfasts; a mission pilgrimage to Haiti; greater participation in diocesan and church wide youth events; and a restructured Sunday morning experience that allows middle school youth to take a walk through the Bible and high school youth to look at current topics of conversation through the lenses of their faith.

HISPANIC MINISTRIES The Hispanic service is guided by the Rev. Deacon Juan Sandoval. The service is held in Mikell Chapel at 11:15 a.m. each Sunday. This allows the Hispanic community to more fully incorporate into the life of the Cathedral than its previous afternoon time slot. In 2016 there were 17 baptisms, nine confirmations, 17 children who completed the instructed Eucharist, two presentations of a child to the Lord, and one wedding. There have been two quinciñeras and there are three scheduled in the coming year, and we have confirmation instruction for the February and December Diocesan Confirmation. Additionally, we had 5 children (rising 6th and 7th graders) attend summer camp at Camp Mikell. The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe—a major feast in the Latino community—will be held on or about December 11. We also hope to have a Posada in December, remembering the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. We will continue to serve the community with baptisms, quinciñeras, weddings, presentations, instructed communion, confirmation classes, and adult education. Two items under consideration are an ESL class and a monthly community service. All are welcome to attend these Spanish-language services.

El servicio hispano está dirigido por el reverendo diácono Juan Sandoval. El servicio se lleva a cabo en la Capilla de Mikell a las 11:15 de la mañana cada domingo. Esto permite que la comunidad hispana se incorpore más plenamente a la vida de la Catedral que su horario de la tarde anterior. En 2016, ha habido 17 bautismos, nueve confirmands; 17 niños completaron la Eucaristía instruida, dos presentaciones de un niño al Señor, y una boda. Ha habido dos quinciñeras y hay tres programadas en el próximo año, y tenemos instrucción de confirmación para la Confirmación Diocesana de febrero y diciembre. Además, tuvimos cinco niños (subiendo 6 y 7) asistir a campamento de verano en el Camp Mikell. La Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe -una fiesta importante en la comunidad latina- se celebrará alrededor del 11 de diciembre. También esperamos tener una Posada en diciembre, recordando el viaje de María y José a Belén. Seguiremos sirviendo a la comunidad con bautismos, quinciñeras, bodas, presentaciones, comunión instruida, clases de confirmación y educación de adultos. Dos temas bajo consideración son una clase de ESL y un servicio comunitario mensual. Todos son bienvenidos para asistir a estos servicios en español.

SPIRITUALITY The Cathedral strives to be “a house of prayer for all people.” We pray through worship, Bible studies, classes, and our life and ministry together. In addition, we offer several opportunities to explore and enrich your faith through contemplative practices, retreats, conferences, and creative experiences. We also invite you to visit the Lanier House, a former home nestled in the Cathedral campus, which is an oasis of quiet beauty in this busy city. Come rest on the porch, pray in the chapel, gather for study or fellowship in one of the house’s rooms, or walk through the gardens outside.
SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE WITH BARBARA BROWN TAYLOR
October 28, 2017

SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND NURTURE COMMITTEE A group of people committed to fostering spiritual formation at the Cathedral meets regularly to plan events and oversee programs. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jeannie Mahood at 404-365-1034.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER AND PRACTICE CENTERING PRAYER GROUPS
QUIET DAYS AND RETREATS
Centering prayer is a spiritual practice of quiet reflection that gives us a chance to open ourselves to the mystery of God’s presence within us. We have two centering prayer groups, which meet weekly in the Lanier House. They gather on Thursdays at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
QUIET DAYS
TAIZÉ
Our Quiet Days during Advent (December 9, 2017) and Lent (February 17, 2018) invite us to take a break from the business and “busy-ness” of our everyday lives and listen in an intentional way to God’s invitation in our spiritual journey.
WOMEN’S RETREAT Also in Lent, women of the Cathedral will be retreating to the Kanuga Conference Center March 2–4, 2018 for a weekend of fellowship, prayer, spiritual renewal, and rest. This year’s retreat will be led by the Reverend Beth Knowlton, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio, Texas, and former canon for liturgy and prayer at the Cathedral.
Taizé is an ecumenical monastic community in southern France that developed a beautiful style of prayer and attracts more than 2,000 visitors a week. During this service, simple chants are sung repetitiously; these chants become prayers of the heart. Scripture is heard, and there is an extended period of silent prayer. For more information, contact Sandra Carey, 404-680-0438. The service is offered every third Monday of the month from 8 to 9 p.m. in Mikell Chapel.
LABYRINTH The labyrinth is an ancient path of prayer dating back to the medieval period of history. Every third Monday, we offer a facilitated labyrinth walk at 7 p.m., with an orientation at 6:30 p.m. for those new walkers. We also offer special, seasonal walks throughout the year. Brochures about the labyrinths are also available in the Atrium. • Indoor labyrinth: Our canvas indoor labyrinth is available in Child Hall most Mondays and Fridays 3 to 8 p.m. It also may be used at alternate times by prior arrangement. • Outdoor labyrinth: The outdoor labyrinth in front of the Lanier House is open daily.

OUTREACH When we gather for Holy Eucharist, we are sent out at the end of the service with the dismissal: “Go in peace, to love and serve the Lord!” We are a sent people, who seek to love and serve God wherever we go and whatever we are doing. We are also pilgrims, who go with the expectation of encountering God through others and of being renewed and transformed by that encounter. As a Cathedral, we reach out through specific Cathedral outreach programs, our hospitality as a “house of prayer for all people,” our parochial entities, volunteer and financial support of partner ministries, and, most important, the many ways that Cathedral parishioners respond to Jesus’ commission throughout their lives. Our Cathedral outreach programs seek to be a sign of Christ’s love, mercy, and justice in this world, while nurturing spiritual growth and community among those who participate in them. These ministries focus on four areas: homelessness and homelessness prevention, at-risk children, prison-related ministries, and immigrant communities. Below are some of the many opportunities for you to go with us! For more information, contact Canon Cathy Zappa, czappa@stphilipscathedral.org.
PRISON MINISTRIES The Cathedral sponsors a weekly service of the Holy Eucharist and supports the Children’s Center at Arrendale State Prison, which helps maintain and strengthen relationships between incarcerated mothers and their children. We also offer opportunities for education and training focused on issues surrounding incarceration and reentry. In addition, under the leadership of
24
Cathedral member Hunter Tison, we have a long-standing relationship with Soul Changers, a non-profit organization that provides residential recovery and post-incarceration services to indigent men and women. We always need volunteers who can share their time and professional expertise to help those in prison or returning from prison.
MINISTRIES FOR AT-RISK CHILDREN AND FAMILIES Our LaAmistad After-School Program serves Latino students from Garden Hills Elementary School and their families, by providing tutoring, mentoring, and a safe, fun place for the children to spend the afternoon. The program meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:45–5 p.m., when school is in session. Volunteers help by tutoring, mentoring, and building friendships with the students. Volunteers are also needed for special events, like the blessing of backpacks, costume blessing, and Advent wreathmaking, to name a few. Spanish language skills are not necessary. The Cathedral has a long-standing partnership with Emmaus House, an Episcopal church and community center that provides education, opportunity, and advocacy in Peoplestown. Cathedral members support Emmaus House in many ways, including serving on the board, collecting toys for Christmas, and providing dinner for programs. Emmaus House leaders also visit the Cathedral to help teach us about their work and poverty in our city. One of our newest partnerships and ministries is with Eternal Hope in Haiti, a Georgia-based non-profit agency that provides healthcare and nutritional services through mobile medical clinics

and that operates an orphanage for medically fragile children. Cathedral members can support this ministry by participating in our mission-pilgrimages, supporting Cathedral youth in their fundraising, and organizing or contributing to collections of needed items.
a community meal. And we welcome our homeless neighbors here at the Cathedral, too, especially at our annual Homeless Requiem on All Saints Day, November 1. In addition to the requiem service, we host a dinner and service fair to help our guests connect with service providers.
HOMELESSNESS AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION
HISPANIC AND IMMIGRANT MINISTRIES
This year, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of our Habitat for Humanity ministry! For the last twenty-nine springs, Cathedral members have come together with four other churches to build a home for a family that otherwise could not dream of home ownership. Whether you are comfortable with a hammer, want to learn to be comfortable with a hammer, or just want to help feed the crew, this is a great way to build up our community in positive ways and to connect with other parishioners. Another important partner in this area is Buckhead Christian Ministry (BCM), which provides emergency financial assistance and supportive services to individuals and families to promote longer-term financial independence. The Cathedral helps BCM by conducting two food drives a year, collecting toys at Christmas, and providing volunteers and financial support. We go out to love and serve our homeless brothers and sisters at Church of the Common Ground and Church of the Holy Comforter, where we are welcomed to join in worship and to serve and share in
Our Hispanic ministries are grounded in our Hispanic service of the Holy Eucharist, which takes place every Sunday in Mikell Chapel at 11:15 a.m. All are welcome. The Reverend Juan Sandoval, deacon for Hispanic ministries, and the Hispanic members of our congregation also lead our participation in the annual Taste of Latin America event on October 7, in which Hispanic members from ten parishes gather at the Cathedral for an evening of Latin American food, music, dancing, and fellowship. The Cathedral will also host the diocese’s first Immigration Day on August 30, 1–3 p.m., which will engage the question, how do Christians respond in a way that allows them to live into their baptismal promise to respect the dignity of all persons and the imperative from Jesus to love our neighbor as ourselves? There will also be information on accessing resources for immigrants and how people of faith can best use those resources. As noted above, we also host the LaAmistad After-School Program.

CHAPTER The Chapter is the governing body of the Cathedral that determines policy issues, sets goals, and provides stewardship of the Cathedral’s complex operations. The Chapter reviews the activities of each of the Cathedral’s parochial entities and ministries on an annual basis, and reviews the church’s financials on a monthly basis. Unlike the vestries of smaller parishes, the Chapter does not usually get involved in the day-to-day activities of the Cathedral; instead, the Chapter of the Cathedral functions similarly to a board of trustees. Each year, a nominating committee identifies a slate of six candidates for the Chapter. Members are elected at the annual parish meeting in December for a three-year term.
