| Dear
Friends of the Cathedral: |
|
|
For more
than 140 years the Cathedral has played silent witness to the prayers of its
parishioners and visitors, provided sanctuary for inspiration and
reflection, hosted the joys of holy communion, matrimony, baptism and entry
into eternal life and has been a resource cherished by the Diocese and the
community at large. In short, the Cathedral has been there for all of us.
|
|
| Now
the Cathedral needs our help. Time has taken a toll on the masonry and
grimed the beautiful stained glass. While we are addressing the restoration
of our stained glass windows and exterior masonry, it comes at a price-some
$2 million in capital expense which must be borne by the church.
|
|
Many
of you have asked how you might assist which is heartening to us. We invite
you to take the following actions to help:
~Lift up your heart in prayer for us and for our
ministries to the residents and the needy of the City of Camden
~Join our Cathedral Spire Club, a convenient way of
helping keep the "flame of faith and service" alive at the Cathedral-in this
way, subscription donations can be made through check or by credit card . |
|
| We ask
you to join with us to continue the inspiring work at the Cathedral for the
Diocese and for the entire community. As expressed in our publication A
Glorious Past, A Brilliant Future: The History of the Diocese of Camden, "It
is our hope that Christ will fill us with the courage and zeal to meet the
challenges of this time." |
|
|
|
| Prayer
and presence is a perfect complement to the generous gift of donation, so
please come and visit us, worship with us and serve with us whenever the
opportunity permits. |
| |
God's
Blessings to you and to your loved ones.
