Dear ones,
I so appreciated all the feedback from my sermon last Sunday, which you can find on video
here and on the blog
here. It was great to have so many folks express interest after the service in getting involved, and we even had some new pledges! Thank you.
I do want to assure you that I was not proposing any specific path forward. Rumors and speculation are natural in times of change. Some believe that I intended that we cut the music program at the cathedral or add guitars and rock bands. Let me assure you that was not in my sermon, my intent, or on my mind! The music program and the liturgy are important parts of our cathedral life, and I understand their value in our common life.

This Week
at the Cathedral
|
|
You may have noticed green signs around the Cathedral property informing the public and our neighbors that the development permit application for the 6th & Olive building has been formally submitted to the City of San Diego.
As you know from our previous outreach, the project involves a 20-story, 204-unit apartment building with 16,000 square feet of office and program space for the Cathedral along with a large, shared central courtyard. In addition to nearly tripling the amount of space available for Cathedral administration and ministry, the project will result in meaningful financial benefits for St. Paul's as well.
In the months ahead there will be a series of public hearings on the permit application and the environmental analysis that is being prepared. We hope you will add your voice in support of the project.
