For Earth Month, Dr. David O'Hara will talk about his role as Canon for Creation Care for the Diocese of South Dakota. The Episcopal Church’s Covenant for the Care of Creation is a commitment to practice loving formation, liberating advocacy, and life-giving conservation as individuals, congregations, ministries, and dioceses. David is a professor of Philosophy, Classics, and Environmental Studies at Augustana University. He is married to the Rev. Dr. Christina O’Hara, Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Sioux Falls. Join us at 9 a.m. in the Cathedral library. 

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
