You may notice Cathedral members Azadeh and Behzad taking photographs during the 10:30 a.m. service this Sunday. If you prefer not to be photographed, please sit in the pews nearest the Choir at the back of the Nave. Children will not be photographed without the consent of a parent or guardian.

Azadeh and Behzad were baptized at the Cathedral during the Easter Vigil service this year, and are generously offering these photographs as a gift to the parish for use on our website and other communications platforms. They are the owners of Floba Flower Boutique and were responsible for the beautiful floral decoration of the large Easter cross you may have seen on Easter Sunday.

If you have the opportunity, please feel free to say hello before or after the service.
