"God of hope, comfort and restore all who suffer in body, mind or spirit." -The Book of Common Prayer

We all have times of sickness, pain or loss, times when pastoral care is needed. If you need the support of a priest, call 513.621.1817 any time to to reach one of them.

We also have a caring group of dedicated volunteers who minister to our congregation. The work of this group (formally known as Lay Associates for Ministry and Service) has been recently re-organized to make participation by lay community easier. The group is now focused on three key areas of pastoral service: 1) providing food for those recovering from surgery or a serious illness; 2) sending cards of encouragement and caring; and 3) providing transportation to older members and others unable to drive. Another important function of the ministry is planning and hosting luncheons twice a year for the cathedral's senior members. These events involve a service in the chapel, followed by food, fellowship and fun–and plenty of smiles!

The aim of all these activities is to live out the cathedral vision that "We, as a parish family, nurture, love and minister to one another in both our spiritual and pastoral needs." If you would like to contribute, contact Lorna Harrell, chair of the Parish Life Committee, or Canon Pastor Rick Cross.
