As you read this, I will be on my way home from Omaha, Nebraska, where I just had a two-day planning session for the next North American Cathedral Deans Conference. It will take place May 8-11, 2025, in Omaha. Trinity Cathedral will be the physical host, but the planning duties are being shared by six regional Deans/Cathedrals: Trinity Cathedral in Omaha, Grace Cathedral in Topeka, Christ Church Cathedral in Salina, GHTC in Kansas City, St. Paul’s Cathedral in Des Moines, and St. Mark’s Pro-Cathedral in Hastings, NE. I am glad to join with my fellow Deans to welcome all North American Deans to Omaha next May.

We have two events coming up next weekend at the Cathedral. Our annual Blessing of the Animals will be Saturday, Oct. 5 at 11 a.m. on the north lawn, and our annual Hymn sing will be Sunday, Oct. 6 at 3:30 p.m. in the Nave. Please bring your pets for the blessing and be sure to send in all your favorite hymns.

Please continue to pray for one another, for our Cathedral family, for our nation, and the world. Please also keep in prayer all those affected by hurricane Helene, and all those who continue to be affected by war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
