Christmas at the Cathedral
Christmas at the Cathedral - Saturday, December 7
Volunteer for Christmas at the Cathedral
Christmas at the Cathedral is an annual event hosted by the Mission Outreach Council and staffed by Cathedral volunteers for the benefit of Kids Hope students and their families. Kids Hope students are public school students from neighborhood schools that are mentored by a volunteer from the Cathedral Kids Hope program.
This year, the party will take place in Reynolds Hall, 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 7. Families will be served dinner and invited to participate in the various activities: a visit with Santa, a photo booth, different crafts and games, piñatas in the courtyard, and face painting.
Christmas at the Cathedral is a highlight for our Kids Hope families. It is also a rare opportunity for the congregation to actually get to meet and greet these neighbors, making that all important connection which is at the heart of our ministry. We need lots of volunteers to help make the families feel welcome and make this a joyful & memorable event for the children. Click here to volunteer.
There will be a Christmas tree in the cloister area during November with paper ornaments listing the gender and age of a child. Parishioners are invited to select an ornament and purchase a gift for that child. These gifts should be returned to Reynolds Hall by December 6th. The gifts will be used to stock a Santa’s Workshop where the parents are invited to ‘shop’ for gifts for their children. Volunteers will wrap the gifts for the parents to take home and put under their family tree for Christmas morning.
