At our fund raising committee meeting in June many members expressed how, through our efforts to raise much- needed funds, we have realised that the benefits have been much more far reaching. Many parishioners have commented that fund-raising events have provided opportunities to meet and share with people in our Cathedral family that they may not have known before. We have had time to enjoy fellowship and share our time and talents. We look forward to your continuing support of events and the chance to meet together.
