A Joyful Candlemas Eucharist at the Cathedral
- Sunday
- Jan 29 at 4pm
- Philadelphia Cathedral
Join us for a joyful Candlemas Eucharist as the Cathedral observes the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. Many Christians consider Jesus as the “light of the world”, so it is fitting that candles are blessed on this day and that a candle-lit procession precedes the celebration of the Eucharist. The Rev. Robert L. Tate will be the Presider and Preacher.

Letter from the Standing Committee
Christmas 2011
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Friends, it is not our intention to write each month, but we are eager to share news from our December meeting:
With gratitude and anticipation, we have elected the Rev. Sherry Crompton Deets for a one year term on the Standing Committee to fill the vacancy created by the resignation last month of the Rev. Isaac Miller. The Standing Committee received the names of ten candidates, and invited each to submit a brief statement of interest. We elected Sherry from among these highly qualified applicants. If she chooses, Sherry may stand for election for a full term at our next Convention.
