Bishop Shane has appointed the Reverend Bob Albert as Assistant Curate for a term position from March 1st through October 31st (flexible end date) at our Cathedral. This is a full-time position, and he will also be doing some tasks for our diocese and Ascension House. Please welcome him!

Enjoy the peace of the Good Shepherd Chapel as Eucharist is celebrated. Various liturgies are used on a rotation, with the first Wednesday of the month being the traditional form from the Book of Alternative Services (p230). This service lasts 30 minutes so it is perfect for a lunch time break.

Come to the Chancel for a 25 minute time of prayer, reflection, and silence to calm your soul and open your heart to God's presence. It is a wonderfully refreshing time apart.

For those who donate by using offering envelopes and have requested them for this year, they are now available on Sunday from the sidespeople or during the week during office hours. If you would like to give in this manner, please email attention the Envelope Secretary at info@ottawacathedral.ca. 

As our Cathedral lives into new patterns with new staff, the office hours are changing slightly:

Monday - 9 am to noon
Tuesday to Thursday - 9 am to 3 pm
Friday - 9 am to noon

There is much going on, meetings, choir practices, services, clergy visits, etc. at other hours, but this is when the main office is open to the public. 

St. George’s College Jerusalem is a gem of the worldwide Anglican Communion, welcoming thousands from around the world who seek to see, feel, and understand the biblical and contemporary richness of the land of the Holy One, and the Christians, Jews, and Muslims who live there. It is highly unlikely that pilgrimages will resume in the next twelve months and there are insufficient funds to provide already-reduced salaries for the College’s staff and essential operations. Let Light Shine: The Canadian Campaign for St. George’s College Jerusalem is seeking to raise $250,000 to cover these basic costs in 2025.Your support of our partner diocese through this campaign is greatly appreciated! Please consider making a donation.

A Prayer for Peace
O God of all justice and peace, we cry out to you in the midst of the pain and trauma of violence and fear which prevails in the Holy Land. Be with those who need you in these days of suffering; we pray for people of all faiths - Jews, Muslims, Christians, and for all people of the land. While we pray to you, O Lord, for an end to the violence and the establishment of peace, we also call for you to bring justice and equity to the peoples. Guide us into your kingdom where all people are treated with dignity and honour as your children for, to all of us, you are our Heavenly Father. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Our Clergy and the Cathedral Prayer Team will pray for all requests sent to info@ottawacathedral.ca during the week.
