Friday, Oct. 2, 7 p.m. During this Season of Creation, our former dean, Keith Joyce will visit Christ Church Cathedral to lead us in special celebrations of Celtic Eucharist.
A Celtic Eucharist is a simple, contemplative Christian communion service combining elements of (the) traditional liturgy with insights and imagery from the creation-centered Celtic devotional lineage. Such services are often held in the evening and foster quiet reflection, and ours will do just that!
The service will be less than an hour long. And please feel especially invited if you are first-timers or curious at all about Celtic spirituality.
RSVPs are requested so that we know how many chairs to set out. Please contact Kurt Schmidt by email <k.schmidt@cccath.ca> or cell phone (506-259-3711).
