Dear Cathedral Family,

Let us journey towards the Feast of Christmas, the Nativity and Theophany of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the New Year 2026 with joyous hearts! Let us prepare with fasting, not only from food, but also from every passion and fear. Let us bring forth goodness and kindness to all. Forgive. Be generous. Persevere in Love. In all things, give glory to God who sends His Son into the world to save us!

God's Peace: Christ is Born! Christ has appeared!

Fr. Nicholas Ceko, Dean
