Open Cathedral Mandate The Cathedral is open to the public weekdays from 11:30 -1:30, to provide a sanctuary in our downtown core for quiet reflection, contemplation, and prayer. As a Registered Heritage Site, the Cathedral is also open for those with an interest in its historic and religious significance. Visitors are invited to walk freely around the Cathedral, or may choose to follow the brief "Walking Tour" which is available. Alternatively, visitors may simply choose to sit quietly and use the Cathedral to meet their own needs. Volunteer Activities The Cathedral could not remain open during the day without the attendance of volunteers. Volunteers greet visitors as they enter the Cathedral, and provide historic and religious information, when appropriate. Volunteers keep a running tally of the number of visitors coming into the Cathedral, and ensure that all visitors have left before closing the doors. Volunteers work in groups of two, and are not responsible for unlocking or locking the Cathedral. Time requirement Open Cathedral hours run weekdays from 11:30 -1:30. Although there is no minimum commitment, many volunteers work 1 - 4 shifts per month. Special Skills Required Volunteers should enjoy meeting new people, and have a friendly arid welcoming demeanor. Volunteers should have an interest and knowledge in the historic past of the Cathedral (material is provided). Visitors may include tourists from other countries as well as people from the street, so volunteers should feel comfortable interacting with a diverse group of people.
