2013 Chapter Candidates St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral Don Pellioni There are many things that I love about St. Paul’s.

We are then nourished by … READ MORE…
Lots of updating to do from your People’s Warden ─ We have five vacancies in the Chapter: four completed their three-year tenure and a one-year replacement for Cassie Lewis who resigned for personal reasons (a marriage at the end of this month!).

Carol Walsh is the People’s Warden, and keeps us filled on the chapter, which is part of the Cathedral’s system of governance.
