Lent, Holy Week & Easter

Spring is always a rich and meaningful time at the Cathedral. We observe the six weeks of preparation for Easter (known as Lent). Easter itself is a glorious forty days of celebration and thanksgiving for all that God has done in Jesus Christ.

We invite you to be part of the Cathedral’s worship and to join us for some of the many events and exhibitions we’ll be holding.
