Easter Season
Celebrate the Great Fifty Days of Easter
Christ is risen! Alleluia!
The Great Fifty Days of Easter is a festive time in which we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
You’re invited to join the Cathedral as we remember the forty days Jesus walked the earth visiting his disciples after he was raised from the dead before he went up to heaven on Ascension Day. Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to comfort his followers, and they waited anxiously for the next ten days until the Holy Spirit descended on the Day of Pentecost.
Join us for services of Holy Eucharist, Choral Evensong, and Online Morning Prayer throughout this season as we continue the joyful remembrance of the risen Christ at work in our lives and in our world.
Note: regular schedule is listed below; please confirm on the Cathedral’s public calendar before attending.
