A potluck reception will follow.

All are invited to this joyful event! 

On May 7th, Irene Chang from South Dakota Contemplative Outreach will present A Brief Introduction to Centering Prayer. The talk will be in the library from 9:00 a.m. to 9:50 a.m. and is part of our monthly spiritual education series. 

Centering Prayer is an ancient form of Christian meditation to deepen one’s relationship with God. Established in 2021, South Dakota Contemplative Outreach (SDCO) is the state chapter of National Contemplative Outreach, Ltd, a worldwide ecumenical organization that provides support and resources for Centering Prayer practitioners.

Irene Chang is a facilitator for the Contemplative Prayer group at St Michael Parish in Sioux Falls. She is a commissioned presenter for both Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina (praying with scriptures in Christian tradition) and a spiritual director certified by the Peace Benedictine Center.

Calvary has been working for some time to build a columbarium, which is a structure for the inurnment of cremains (human ashes). The 63-niche unit is  finished. We anticipate dedicating the chapel later this spring. Bishop Folts has determined the chapel will 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.  If you are interested in learning more about our columbarium, contact Deb Husby at columbarium@calvarycathedral.net
