Cathedral Restoration Project 
We have been invited to participate in the ongoing restoration of our Cathedral. Enhanced liturgical features of the realigned Sanctuary will include a new platform for the Bishop’s ceremonial chair, the “Cathedra”, which will be constructed using elements from the original wooden furnishings. The Capital Conference will fund the construction of the new platform. Please click here or above for more details and how you or your Council/Assembly/Auxiliary can contribute.
