Summer Hours Under Way
Beginning June 23 the Cathedral and Diocesan Offices will be closed on Fridays (the Muslim Friday Prayers will take place as usual in the church), through Labor Day.
Our summer Sunday services will continue to be Holy Eucharist at 10 am and Eucharist in Chinese at 12:30 pm, both in the sanctuary.
Visitor Open Hours this Summer
The church will be open for visitors this summer the following hours:
Sunday - 8 am-5 pm
Creation Care Sunday July 30
Fifth Sundays have been designated times for creative liturgy at the Cathedral, and the first of these will be Creation Care Sunday on July 30 at the 10 am service. The Cathedral Schola will return to help us celebrate our planet and our care for the earth.
Spanish Service Wednesdays at 12 in St. John's Chapel
We're pleased to announce that beginning on Wednesday, June 28, there will be Holy Eucharist in Spanish in the Chapel of St. John the Evangelist at 12:00 noon every Wednesday. The Rev. Edgar Gutierrez-Duarte and Deacon Ema Rosero-Nordalm will preside.
New Signage Coming in Front of the Cathedral!
New electronic signage is being installed in the kiosk (the small structure with the copper roof in front of the Cathedral where signs have been hung). We're very excited about this new opportunity to have our message seen day and night. If you're coming by take a look. It should be operational in the next few days.
Please keep your pledge payments up to date
We have received pledges from 21 households/individuals totaling almost 2,600 hours of service to our community, almost
6
,000
hours of prayer, and over $50,000. Please stay up to date with your pledges payments so that we can stay on target with our budgeting. If you need a pledge card you can contact the Cathedral office or pick one up on Sunday in church.

The Pilgrim
Ethereal Gazebo
by Troy Anthony Brown
Cries of our souls rest there
along with all desires.
Wind is trapped while only love
penetrates and flourishes.
Beauty shines at night.
Lavender is present for those who dream.
Mistakes vanish.
Promises absorbed.
Forgiveness is the rule.
Clean water for all.
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Black Seed Writers Group. Sign up for an annual print subscription for $25 by designating your gift to the Monday Lunch Program on our giving page (make sure you specify that your gift is for a Pilgrim Subscription), or send a check to the Cathedral Offices with "Pilgrim Subscription" in the memo line.

In the Spotlight for details about this Sunday.
During the summer we will have a reduced number of servers at the altar: vergers, sub-deacons and acolytes will be given a break from their duties during this time.
Please speak to Deacon Cynthia Pape if you are interested in serving at the altar during our services, or serving with the
Altar Guild
to assist with preparation and cleaning up after services. Churches rely on their members to help make our services possible, so please consider committing to help out.
