Did you know...... that the Sparks Street steps replacement has begun? This week the east set of steps was removed and engineers evaluated the condition of the wall behind. Although our official fundraising for this projects and others has not yet begun, you may donate at any time! Thank you for your patience with the construction and your generosity in supporting it. A reminder to everyone that this area is a construction zone with specific requirements for access. Please contact the cathedral office at any time if you have questions about this project. |

A Time of PrayerListening for Divine Sparks in our Midst An Action Plan for Contextual Mission and New Worshipping Communities was agreed at Synod in October 2023 to help us be a Spirit-led Church and create new worshipping communities in parishes across our diocese. Monthly resources have been developed to pray, listen, consider and be inspired. These resources invite us to reflect and pray about how being fed by the Spirit can and should guide our actions in the world. You will find prayers of the people (PRAY), a Bible study guide for a selected Scripture passage (LISTEN), information on religiosity in Canada (CONSIDER) and a short video interview with Kitty Galt, whose actions at All Saints’ Sandy Hill were the origins of Cornerstone Housing for Women (INSPIRE).
