CHRISTMAS AT THE CATHEDRAL
While they were there, the time came to deliver her child.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth,
and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Luke 2:6,7
Christmas 2022
Worship, livestreams, holiday schedule and more
We are grateful that 2022 looks more like the pre-pandemic Advent, Christmas and Epiphany we remember.
Christmas Eve this year falls on Saturday and Christmas Day and New Year's Day are both Sunday worship days. Those two Sunday worship services will be more intimate and will not include all of our usual Sunday activities.
