Parish Life Committee:
As a vibrant community at the Cathedral, Parish Life committee is part of the many working hands and ministries reflecting the spirit of service, stewardship and hospitality. We have an active committee that works to make the Cathedral a place where both visitors and members alike feel a sense of belonging. The Parish Life Committee coordinates and hosts activities of the varied areas of parish life – annual events (Filipino Festival, Feastday Fest, Chrism Mass and Easter Vigil Receptions, Spring Fling Event), Sunday morning coffee and donuts, and other receptions as needed. The group meets as needed to plan the events, which provide many opportunities to serve the parish.
