Global Climate Change Cafe: a world cafe style discussion

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

We can do no great things, only small things with great love. -Mother Teresa

New to this year’s Flower Festival, Global Climate Change Cafe at 2:00 pm. on Saturday and Sunday, May 1 & 2. We’re scheduled for the fourth floor of the cathedral, unless rain re-arranges the festival configuration.

St. Barnabas, Florissant, calls next rector

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Congratulations and prayers to the Rev. Renee Fenner and the people of St. Barnabas, Florissant and Christ Church Cathedral. Canon Pastor Fenner, currently serving Christ Church Cathedral, has answered the call from St. Barnabas to be their next rector. Stories from the cathedral and St. Barnabas online. Fenner has been a steady and faithful guide and presence these past years at the cathedral, and will be terribly missed, but there is great joy surrounding her new ministry with the people of St. Barnabas. Caught in the hallway, at the end of the day, Canon Renee asked that we continue to hold her and the people of these two Metro II congregations in our prayers.

The Diocese of Haiti is the largest diocese in the Episcopal Church, and she has lost a cathedral, a convent, schools that educated 80,000 children, colleges, and churches; she has lost parishioners. But the people of Haiti have not lost faith. (more…)
