Pictorial Directory

There is a movement afoot to get photos of all of the members of the Cathedral Family onto our Realm database.  If you haven’t already uploaded a picture of yourself, you will be hearing from a member of the directory team.  We will also send an invitation to everyone to join Realm.  The goal is to have 75% of the parish with pictures. 

Please say yes when it is your turn to smile.   

If you are not yet on Realm. please email the Cathedral office to change or update your name, address, email address and telephone numbers for our database.  We would like to confirm cell phone numbers as part of our disaster preparedness plan, so please make sure we have your current cell number, and your preferred email address.
