Cathedral concert in Ottawa, ON - Oct. 26th involving CBC's Don Newman and his wife Shannon Day-Newman as Emcees. This will give the St. Jude's project a very high profile across the country.
November 1st, Holy Trinity, Yellowknife is planning a “World Market Auction". There will be a live and silent auction (of donated items such as paintings, carvings, etc.) as well as musical entertainment during the evening.
Let us know if your church has a special fundraising event happening.
PROJECT UPDATE
“IT’S GOING UP”!!
As you can see – the foundation has been poured and the forms removed. The building blocks for the exterior shell have been ordered for sealift this fall – work commencing Spring 2009!
FROM THE EDITOR
If any parish (or group within a parish) would like to have one of our Cathedral “banks” (as pictured below) to set out in your church to collect loose change for the cathedral fund – please contact myself or the Diocese office and we will be glad to send you one. No charge! We give thanks to Delilah Doak, a Holy Trinity, YK parishioner who made these and donated them to us for our use.
Please keep me updated as to what’s happening in YOUR parish so that your good news can be shared with all.
