We have an election of five new Vestry members for Trinity Cathedral who will each serve a three-year term. Each elected candidate received a majority of votes.

Those elected are Linda Brown, Herschel Cast, Scott Gordon, Tommy Jameson, and Fred Rector.

We had nine excellent candidates. Thank you to all who stood for Vestry and were willing to serve.

Shrove Tuesday, February 21 (the evening before Ash Wednesday), the parish will have its annual Mardi Gras celebration in Chancellors Hall, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Gumbo-cooking crews are encouraged to begin forming and planning their culinary offerings.

Children’s entertainment will include a bouncing house, various games, and king cakes. All are welcome and encouraged to bring friends!

After the 10 a.m. Eucharist on Sunday, January 29, the parish will gather in Chancellors Hall for a potluck lunch, followed by the Annual Parish Meeting.  Fried chicken will be provided for the lunch.  Those whose last names begin with A-O, please bring side dishes (salads, vegetables, etc.) and those whose last names begin with P-Z, please bring a dessert.  Toward the end of our meal, we will announce the election of new vestry members and have a brief discussion of the state of the parish and of our hopes and plans for the future.

Each January, baptized members of the Cathedral parish who are sixteen years of age or older are encouraged to choose among candidates for election to three-year terms on the Vestry, the 15-member body who, under the Dean’s leadership, govern the parish.  Voting will take place next Sunday, January 22, in the foyer of Morrison Hall after each of the three services (7:30 a.m.; 10 a.m.; and 5 p.m.).
