An Advent Festival of Lessons & Music, Calvary's annual holiday gift to the community, is set for Monday, December 8th. Music of the season, led by the Cathedral choir and organist Diane Van Den Oever, interspersed with scripture readings foretelling the birth of Christ. The string quartet from the South Dakota Symphony will again be part of the music, with guest soloist Eric Wassenaar. A reception follows, hosted by parish members.  There is no charge for the event. 

In January 2023, Calvary finished a 63-niche columbarium, which is a structure for the inurnment of cremains (human ashes). Bishop Folts determined the chapel should be named the Charlotte Augusta Memorial Chapel, or St. Augusta's for short. This is in honor of Charlotte Augusta Astor, for whom the original funds to build the cathedral were given. Inurnment is open to any Episcopalian in the Diocese of South Dakota.  If you are interested in learning more about our columbarium, contact Deb Husby at columbarium@calvarycathedral.net
