This Sunday there will be a quiet, said Holy Eucharist (BCP) at 8:30 am, and Choral Eucharist (BAS) at 10:30 am. The Reverend Bob Albert will preach, and the Boys Choir and Lay Clerks will sing the Choral Eucharist.

Readings: Acts 9:36-43; Psalm 23; Revelation 7:9-17; John 10:22-30

The 10.30 am service will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel. Please be aware that technological issues sometimes occur.

This Sunday marks the opening of both doors again on Sparks Street! There are some details to finish which hopefully will be done by Pentecost Sunday (June 8th) when Bishop Shane will bless the new steps at the end of the 10.30 am service. Enjoy these welcoming "arms" to our Cathedral!

Dean Beth is in Omaha, Nebraska at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral for this annual conference. This year the focus is on the urgent need to look for new ways forward as the Church continues to find its feet in a rapidly evolving time. The challenges, experiments, failures, and successes of dioceses, churches, and Christian communities in the Midwest offer an example of exploring these new ways forward while maintaining our rich Anglican heritage. The Most Reverend Sean Rowe, Presiding Bishop of ECUSA, and Brother James Dowd, OSB, Prior of Incarnation Monastery and The Benedictine Way, are the theme speakers. Please keep all who travel and attend in your prayers!

Josh Zentner-Barrett, a doctoral candidate at Saint Paul University, is undertaking research in Anglican churches in Ottawa. He is studying Anglican liturgy and identity, and its relationship to the colonial church, following on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The Cathedral Corporation has received his research proposal and approved our participation. Josh is among us for two months, observing our worship and taking part in church events, as well as conducting interviews. He is looking for volunteers to be interviewed for approximately 60 minutes. All data collected during the process will be kept confidential and will remain anonymous. This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through the Saint Paul University Research Ethics Board. To volunteer to be interviewed, please contact Josh (jzent029@uottawa.ca or 613.816.1695).
