Advent & Christmas
Come on in!
Share with us in the special season of Advent leading up to Christmas Week.
You are very welcome to come into our calm space if you need a time of quiet or to light a candle for people you miss.
The Cathedral is open when there are services on and during summer when cruise ships are in port. We have limited staffing, therefore regret we cannot be open all the time.
