The Canon’s Corner May Easter embrace you with new love and life. May Resurrection break you open with song trilling insistently in bush and trees. May it take your breath away with fragrant jasmine and rich earth. And may you know in new ways this light that is you, to shine, in this most exquisite world of ours!

Laura+ Hello, sun in my face. Hello, you who made the morning and spread it over the fields and into the faces of the tulips and the nodding morning glories, and into the windows of, even, the miserable and the crotchety – best preacher that ever was, dear star, that just happens to be where you are in the universe to keep us from ever-darkness, to ease us with warm touching, to hold us in the great hands of light – good morning, good morning, good morning. Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness. Mary Oliver, “Why I Wake Early”

♫ BENCH NOTES ♫ A Word from Your Organist/Choirmaster If you’ve followed this column, you’ll know that I have developed a keen interest in the musical history and legacy of St. Mary’s Cathedral. I’m almost giddy with delight whenever our fantastic historian, Patricia McFarland, digs up something in the old files pertaining to the cathedral music ministry, and I completely enjoy wading through these materials (perhaps I was a librarian in a previous life!). As such, I’ve decided to change the focus of my big organ recital here on April 26. Previously, I had planned to perform an “Organ under the Stars” program, featuring The Planets by Gustav Holst and my own arrangement of Star Wars. After I had learned about our fabulous Cathedral Day planned for the following day, however, I realized that this program needed to better reflect the incredible history of this place. Thus, in conjunction with Cathedral Day, I will now present a legacy organ recital featuring music performed throughout the decades at St. Mary’s. Repertoire will include organ pieces played on the original 1927 organ dedication, the 1950’s re-dedication, and various compositions performed by St. Mary’s many notable organists across several generations. From a character piece entitled “Moonlight” to variations on “The Star-Spangled Banner,” I plan to lead the audience on an aural tour through the rich musical history of St. Mary’s Cathedral. I do hope you’ll be able to take part in our Cathedral Day celebrations and that you’ll consider joining me as we celebrate the goodness that is Music at St. Mary’s! Soli Deo Gloria Scott Elsholz

FLOWER MINISTRY AT ST. MARY’S CATHEDRAL Each Sunday the Altar at St. Mary’s is graced with two beautiful arrangements donated by parishioners. During Lent, the arrangements are simplified to branches and greenery. On Palm Sunday, palms are needed, on Easter, lilies are donated and at Christmas, poinsettias and greenery are donated to decorate the church. There are several ways to donate to the Flower Ministry in memory of, in thanksgiving for, or in honor of loved ones. Suggested donations are: Altar Flowers $ 125, Branches and Greenery during Lent $75, Paschal Candle $75, Baptismal Font $150, and Bread, Wine and Candles $50. Suggested donation for Easter lilies/palms and Christmas poinsettias/ greenery is $25. The Flower Ministry coordinates the donations and has a team to bundle and deliver the Altar Flowers each week to parishioners out in the community. If you would like to donate to the Flower Ministry, please call Jan Morrell at 575-3258 or [email protected] for available dates and more information. We can always use more volunteers for bundling and delivering flowers during the year. Both are done on a rotating basis. Bundling of flowers is done after the 11:00 service and takes about 20 minutes. To volunteer or for more information, contact Sara Frey at 756-8826.

In response to the approval of a Rite for the Blessing of SameGender Relationships during the 2012 General Convention of the Episcopal Church, the St. Mary's chapter has created a committee to discern how our Cathedral family might make use of the provisional liturgy. The committee, currently made up of Lee Roberts, George Clarke, Jr., John Gaskill, and Dennis Clark, is meeting regularly using a four-step discernment process based on the writings of St. Ignatius. They are keeping both the Chapter and Dean Andy Andrews informed on their progress and hope to report their findings this summer.
