We care about you and want to know how you are doing. You will be contacted in February by one of the leaders of the Cathedral, as we check in to see how you are doing. Please let us know if we can be of help.
To make sure we have everyone’s contact information, we will be doing a 2022 Cathedral of St Andrew Directory with photos. We would love to have your photograph of your beautiful faces in the directory. Please email your photos to office@cathedralhawaii.org so that we may add your picture to the new directory.
We are grateful for a wonderful Annual Meeting. Thank you for your participation. We appreciate the leadership of Provost Canon Heather Patton-Graham, Senior Warden Matt Brown, and Junior Warden Roth Puahala. In addition, we acknowledge the hard working full time staff, Lauren Houghtailing, Program Manager and Julia Jackson, Business Manager. Thank you to all Chapter Members, Volunteers, Clergy and Staff. We are grateful to
all of you for your part in 2021. Together we look forward to the joys and challenges in 2022 as we work together.

Candlemas Choral Evensong on Sunday, February 6 at 5:30pm |
|
Please join us this Sunday, February 6 at 5:30pm, in the Cathedral for our first Choral Evensong of 2022! We will be celebrating Candlemas (transferred from its observance on February 2).
Candlemas
A feast of our Lord celebrated on Feb. 2, also known as Candlemas and the Feast of the Purification. It commemorates the presentation of Jesus and the purification of Mary in the Jerusalem Temple forty days after Jesus' birth, in accordance with the requirements of Jewish law (Lv 12:2-8). The feast is celebrated about forty days after Christmas. According to the account of Lk 2:22-39, the presentation of Jesus was also the occasion of the meeting of Jesus with Simeon and Anna. Simeon's prayer of blessing is the basis for the canticle Nunc dimittis (see BCP, p. 120). Celebration of the feast dates from the fourth century in Jerusalem. It was introduced in Rome in the seventh century, where it included a procession with candles and the singing of the Nunc dimittis. The celebration came to include the lighting and blessing of candles which were carried in procession. This feast was known as “Candlemas.”

Highlights from the Cathedral's Annual Meeting |
|
On Sunday, January 23rd, the Cathedral of St. Andrew held its Annual Meeting over Zoom. Messages of gratitude and thanks were shared to all who are involved in making the Cathedral such a special place of worship. We are hopeful to continue our work in not only our congregational community, but the surrounding communities of our Queen Emma Square and with the Diocese.
We also successfully elected three new Cathedral Chapter members and eight new Diocesan Convention Delegates. We welcome them to the Cathedral team and look forward to working with them in 2022!
You will find the Annual Meeting packet that was distributed here. Thank you again to all who helped make this event possible!
For the Mission of the Church
Everliving God, whose will it is that all should come to you
through your Son Jesus Christ: Inspire our witness to him,
that all may know the power of his forgiveness and the hope
of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
