The Cathedral invites families to classes and special celebrations throughout the year.
From September through May, Fellowship in Faith offers Christian formation for children on Sunday mornings between 10:15am-11am, at the Mercer School. Lessons draw from the Bible, Christian tradition, and the natural world to deepen children’s spiritual lives, and develop their expressions of faith.
During this time, adults are invited to the Dean’s Forum where clergy and guest speakers lead discussions on a variety of spiritual topics.
In addition to Fellowship in Faith, children are encouraged to lead worship, sing in the choir, and participate in retreats, celebrations service opportunities throughout the year.

Upcoming Events
Mothering Sunday Pancake Brunch - a Fellowship in Faith Special Event!
Lenten Greetings to You!
Sunday, March 15, 2026
8:45am-11:00am
Last Sunday we continued our Lenten journey together through the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin. These small but powerful stories remind us of God’s joyful determination to seek out what has been lost. Children often recognize the feeling immediately, and adults tend to recognize it again in quieter ways.
This Sunday the whole parish is invited to celebrate Mothering Sunday with a beautiful Pancake Brunch organized by Diana Campbell and her wonderfully inspired team. Please be sure to RSVP, if you haven’t already, here on Realm . Because of this shared parish celebration, Fellowship in Faith and the Dean’s Forum will take a brief pause while we gather around the table together. Confirmation class with Charlie Janoff and the Adult Formation class with Fr. Mark will carry their stacks of pancakes into their classes as their morning conversations continue.
Mothering Sunday has its origins in the medieval English practice of returning to one’s “mother church” during Lent: the church where one was baptized or first nurtured in faith. Over time it also became a day to give thanks for mothers and all those who offer care, nurture, and encouragement in our lives. If you keep your eyes open in the cathedral, you might even spot a pelican caring for her babies: a symbol Christians once used for nurturing love. In that same spirit, our youngest members continue to find their place beneath the wide wings of the church each week through Fellowship in Faith.
This coming Sunday at the 9:15 Mass, we will continue with Faces of Easter IV: Remembering Christ’s Desert Experience. As the children settle onto their prayer rugs and listen to Fr. Cam share the unfolding story of Jesus’ ministry with them, we will hear about Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. As we move closer to Easter, this sacred moment of the story reminds us that even in times of difficulty and testing, Jesus remains grounded in God’s love and truth.
Announcements
All Cathedral youth in 6th grade and older are getting ready for our very cool Youth Sleepover, taking place Friday evening, March 27 through Saturday morning, March 28. More details are coming soon, but here’s a sneak peek. We’ll have some classic favorites — crafts, dinner together, and the Dean’s now-famous Cathedral tower tour — plus some new additions like Hip Hop Musica Divina and a relaxing Yin Yoga wind-down before lights out. There will be plenty to choose from, and you can jump into as much (or as little) as you like.
Thank you for the many ways you continue to show up for this community, with the kind of motherly care that Jesus described as a hen gathering her chicks under her wings. (Matthew 23:37)
With gratitude as we continue walking this Lenten road together,
Deacon Lisa

I wonder what sounds Jesus might have heard out in the wilderness.
