Summer Reading: The Universal Christ

Each week this summer, we will share a reflection on The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr. Paperback copies are available at cost in the cathedral office. This book will be the subject of our Advent Series beginning December 4th.

"The only way out of deep sadness is to go with it and through it...When I try heroically to do it alone, I slip into distractions, denials, and pretending--and I do not learn suffering's softening lessons. (page 161)

What has been your experience of deep sadness? Have you gone through it alone and slipped into distractions, denials, or pretending? What is it like, or what would it be like, to "go with it and through it"? Is there someone in your life that could support you?

Cathedral Chorister Academy

August 27-30, 10am to 2pm

We are excited to be holding a four-day long Cathedral Chorister Academy this August! Each day will include group rehearsals, music reading class, and music theory class. In addition, lunch will be provided each day and each chorister will get a t-shirt and two private voice lessons with professional members of our adult choir. All of this is included for $100. (There are also need-based scholarships available.) High school aged choristers who would like to serve as counselors will also have the fee waived.

Registration is $100 (need-based scholarships are available): https://tinyurl.com/chorister2019

We are also looking for four or more adult volunteers to help supervise. (No musical ability is required.) If any parents would be willing to fill this role, we would be happy to waive the enrollment fee for their kid(s).

This program is open to anyone, so please invite friends and family!
