Note from Canon Heather+
Updated COVID Guidelines for the Cathedral of St. Andrew 
Aloha Cathedral community, 

With the changes in our larger state-wide guidelines regarding COVID-19 protocols and practices, we, too, here at the Cathedral have adjusted our protocols and practices implemented for in-person services. 
 
Masking & Social Distancing 
•Masks are not required at the Cathedral or in the Cathedral buildings, however they will continue to be encouraged, welcomed, and available. 
• Physical distancing, as we have been doing, is still honored. Please keep this in mind during the sharing of the Peace! 
 
At the Eucharist – taking Communion  
• We have returned to Bread and Wine at Communion. 
• How to receive Communion will return to ‘before’: 
  • To receive communion, please come to the center aisle to receive the Bread and then proceed toward the side aisles to receive the Wine and return to your seat. 
  • The clergy will be distributing the Bread and offering the Chalice. 

 **PLEASE REMEMBER: Receiving sacraments in both kinds (Bread and Wine) or just the one (usually just Bread, but occasionally just Wine) is completely acceptable. Receiving the Bread alone is full and complete reception of the Sacrament. 

**Regarding the sharing of the common cup at Communion – I offer this message from the Dean of the Cathedral in Ottawa regarding Communion and COVID-19. I find it to be well written and researched, and it extends the sentiment of compassion and self-awareness we hold to here at St. Andrew’s. Shared with the Cathedral congregation in July of 2021, this statement from Ottawa comes as vaccines were still gaining traction internationally. (You will read that they were still screening people at their Cathedral when this was written, for example.) With the months that have passed since July, our infection rates now are even lower than they were then. The most significant message – we support you in your choice. 
 
**Other Details You May Notice**  
• The plexiglass has been removed from pulpit and lectern. 
• Processions with the choir have returned. (The clergy and choir are masked while singing in procession.) 
• Clergy are masked when behind the, as well as when distributing communion. Clergy may also choose to mask at the door when greeting. 
 
Our commitment to our online community will continue -- Livestreaming will not change! We move forward with great joy and a commitment of support for your choices regarding masking and any personal caution. We understand that this adjustment in practices will take time to get used to after such a challenging two years. Your clergy is here to help however we are able. Together we go on ~ Imua! 
 
In Christ,
Canon Heather+

Cathedral Directory

We are working on the Cathedral Directory! As I talk with people, they are excited that we will include photos in our directory. We have not seen each other in a while (some have not seen each other in two years). People will be able to refer to the directory for names and photos, although photos are not required. The directory will include contact information for everyone who expresses a wish to be included, either by checking the box on the Pledge Card last fall or by notifying the office@cathedralhawaii.org by email or providing information when contacted by a church volunteer.

If you wish to submit a photo for the directory, there are 3 ways:

1. Just send in your favorite photo of yourself and/or your family. Photos may be taken from a current smart phone, or any other source. For a clear photo we need at least 1024 pixels in the longest dimension. Please send photos to Elizabeth Conklin, econklin@forth.com.

2. If you would prefer to use an existing photo, you may drop it off at the office. Your photo will be returned to you when the photo is copied. 

3. If you do not have a suitable photo but wish one, Elizabeth Conklin is willing to take you photo after the 8 am or 10 am Sunday Service at the Cathedral. Make an appointment by emailing her at econklin@forth.com. Note that she can do only one or two each week.

Thank you
