Men and women at the Cathedral have participated in the Festive Market and Teas on the last Saturday in November for the last two years. They have made pies and soups in the fall and marmalade in the spring. Judith Dowler, coordinator of these events, and Nicholas Galambos, who makes the Christmas cake, jams, jellies and chutneys that are sold, present a cheque of $16,000 to the Reverend Victoria Scott, the Director General of Community Ministries of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa.

During the month of July, Canon Doug Richards will be away on vacation. If you have any pastoral or administrative concerns during this time, please contact the church office as usual. Our staff will ensure that you are connected with the appropriate person for assistance.

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.
