to All Guests, Friends, and Members of Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life." (John 3:16, NRSV)

Welcome to Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral this Christmas season! Whether you are a guest, a friend, or a long-standing member, know that you are deeply cherished here. This beloved community is a living testament to the truth that all are welcome, all are loved, and Christ is seen in each of you.

Throughout the year, the Cathedral has been a place of worship, service, and connection. It stands as a sanctuary for the weary, a beacon of hope for those seeking light, and a celebration of God’s enduring love. During this beautiful season, we gather to remember the birth of Jesus—the ultimate expression of love and hope—and to reflect on the ways we are called to share that love with the world.

As we journey through these holy days, may the peace of Christ fill your heart, the joy of His coming uplift your spirit, and the love of this community surround you. My prayer is that the light of Christmas shines brightly in your life today and continues to illuminate your path throughout the year to come.

Many blessings to you and yours this Christmas season and always.
