Christ Church Cathedral continues to remain as current as possible with responses to the global situation with the COVID-19 virus. The responses of all of society are easily identifiable. Above all, we as Church need to continue to be, most especially, leaders and partners with government, corporate and private sectors, doing what is agreed upon […]
Much has changed since my last article of a week ago. We now at this time (March 15th) have over 300 (confirmed and presumptive) cases of the coronavirus in Canada, five of them being in New Brunswick. Last week we had ~30 cases nationally and none in New Brunswick – a much different picture today. […]

In Canada, we have not had the high number of cases that are occurring in other countries, […]

Both “classes” and “sessions” with participants and their mentors comprise the programme content. Specifically, the classes are opportunities when all meet on a Wednesday evening for […]
I will admit that I often just skim through the Anglican Journal when it arrives – reading the article titles and picture captions, and perhaps the letters to the editor to get a sense of the national temperature. It is also often the case, that as a member of the bishop and synod staff, that […]
The year 2019 was a busy and productive one for the 14 members of Bishop and Chapter who were acting on behalf of our large and active congregation. Like many mainline churches, we have our challenges, but we also have opportunities. Both keep us busy and engaged. The Chapter does not function in a ‘business […]
During the Season of Lent, all members of the Cathedral congregation are encouraged to take part in small group study or reflection.
