Apostolic Succession

Three generations of cathedral deans were present in the Cathedral on Ascension Day, May 1, when the Cathedral gave thanks to God on the sixth anniversary of the rededication of the cathedral’s renovated interior. Fr Jack Shepherd, Interim Dean 1997-99, was the preacher at the evening Eucharist with Rites of Christian Initiation.

The diocesan community will say farewell to Dean Richard at a special service of Evening Prayer on Tuesday June 17 at 7:30pm.
