The consecration and installation of The Right Reverend Kathryn Otley as the 11th Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa was celebrated joyously by over 500 people who gathered for the occasion on May 9th. Thanks to Doug Morris for the beautiful photos.

So that all can enjoy some warm spring weather, the Cathedral office will be closed for Victoria Day!

The Cathedral will once again be participating in Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 6th from 10 am to 4 pm  and Sunday, June 7th  from noon to 4 pm. We are looking for a number of volunteers to help out over the weekend to welcome guests, hand out tour booklets, and assist visitors as they wander and discover our Cathedral home. As in previous years, guests to the Cathedral will be handed a tour booklet and will be invited to discover the Cathedral at their own pace on a self-guided tour.

If you have a couple of hours (or more!) to help out during Doors Open, please send an e-mail to: doors.open@ottawacathedral.ca

If you speak a language other than English, there is still time to let Canon Doug know that you would like to participate in reading the gospel at the 10.30 am service on Pentecost Sunday, May 24th. Contact him by Monday, May 18 to volunteer (doug.richards@ottawacathedral.ca or 613- 236-9149 ext 191). You will be reading as part of a group, all at once, so no need to be nervous! Thank you.

Come and welcome Capella Regalis of Halifax who will join our Boys Choir and Lay Clerks for a special Choral Evening Prayer. They will be visiting our Cathedral during their Quebec-Ontario tour. The music for the evensong will include "Canticles in B flat" by C.V. Stanford, John Rutter's "The Lord Bless You", a setting of Psalm 150 by John Sanders and "Cantique de Jean Racine" by Gabriel Fauré. All welcome!

Cornerstone Housing for Women, one of our Anglican community ministries, is experiencing considerble pressure on their food program due to the increasing cost of ingredients for meal preparation. On the Sundays in June, there will be a food drive at the Cathedral for donations to Cornerstone. Please read the letter from Anne Marie and Victoria and stay tuned for more details.

It is easy to be moved by the sacred beauty and warm welcome of Christ Church Cathedral — a place some encounter briefly, and others come to call their spiritual home. It is a place that nourishes the soul through worship and music, care and community, and it exists because of generosity: the generosity of those who have gone before us, and the generosity of those who give today.
