Join us as we mark Ascension Day, featuring uplifting music from the Cathedral Choir and commemorating the moment when Jesus Christ was lifted into heaven following his resurrection.

After rising on Easter Day, Jesus remained with his disciples for forty days, teaching and preparing them for what lay ahead. On the fortieth day, he promised that the Holy Spirit would come to them, before being “lifted up… out of their sight.” The Ascension marks a pivotal moment in the Christian story: as Christ’s earthly ministry draws to a close, his followers are entrusted with sharing the good news of God’s love with the world.

The Day of Pentecost comes fifty days after Easter Day and brings the Easter season to its joyful climax.

A major feast in the Church’s year, Pentecost recalls the gift of the Holy Spirit to the disciples, as told in the Acts of the Apostles. Filled with the Spirit, they were able to proclaim the good news of God’s love in many different languages to the crowds gathered in Jerusalem. For this reason, Pentecost is often called the “birthday” of the Church.

Join us on the Sunday after Pentecost, traditionally known as Trinity Sunday, celebrated eight weeks after Easter.

The day invites us to contemplate and celebrate the ways in which God is revealed to us – through creation, through Christ, and through the Spirit at work in the world and in our lives.
