Raise the Roof: a Diocesan Hymn SingThere are few things better for the body and soul than singing together. Unfortunately, during the last few years opportunities to gather and sing hymns have been rather less than most would have liked, but Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa has a solution – a diocesan hymn sing at 4 pm on Sunday, June 4th! The Cathedral Boys Choir and Lay Clerks will lead an hour of favorite hymns from Common Praise followed by some well earned refreshments. The Cathedral Director of Music, James Calkin, will accompany on the organ and the Associate Music Director, Andrew McAnerney, will provide brief insights about the words, music, writers and composers. Hymns will include: How great thou art, Tell out my soul, Praise my soul the King of heaven, Love divine and a favorite selected by vote towards the end of May. To participate, please register by visiting https://rsvp.church/r/2bdfOuYg so that we may prepare adequately for the refreshments afterwards. Everybody is welcome, no experience is necessary, and it is suitable for the whole family. Come join us to sing or listen as we raise the roof of our Cathedral! |

Remembering Loved OnesEach week the flowers on the high altar are dedicated in memory of family or friends of cathedral members. The dedication is noted each week in the Order of Service. We do have some openings in the schedule which resumes again after Easter. Please be in touch with the cathedral office if you are interested in dedicating flowers one week between now and July. |
