Annual Cathedral Spring Clean up
Saturday April 7 was the annual Cathedral Spring Clean up and we had an AMAZING turn out! 25 people came and scrubbed, vacuumed, dusted and sweated!! Our Verger, Ron, was so pleased and we were finished in record time! Thank you to all who came out and gave up the morning to deep clean the Cathedral. We appreciate it!
We celebrated with coffee and muffins and companionship. Hooray to St. Paul’s

Hands in the Dirt Gang is back at it!
The hands in the Dirt Gang was back at it this weekend in a new location. After the death of Chuck Kalnin the future of the St. Paul’s garden ministry was up in the air. Chuck had housed the garden for more than 5 years and with his death and the subsequent sale of his house it looked like there was not going to be a garden.
But the Ste. Marie family stepped up and offered some of their land for the garden to continue. The new day for gardening is Saturday morning. All are welcome to come and plant, dig and weed. Chuck will be smiling done on us and so happy we continued this important ministry.
Easter Sunday
What lovely weather we had for Easter Sunday morning (who knew it was going to snow later on!)

Latest newsletter update from the Territory of the People
Soup Ministry Update
This week we had a successful “soup troop” workshop in the Cathedral kitchen. We made a hearty barley vegetable soup and two pans of Shepherds Pie.
We will have enough to feed 60 people 2 meals! Thank you to the generous anonymous volunteer for funding this project and to the WONDERFUL volunteers who happily chop, peel and laugh.
Another thing to note is the weekly delivery of baked goods! Our clients enjoy fantastic bakes goods weekly. Our baker is not even a parishioner but a amazing member of the community who wants to support our soup ministry! Thank you Lynn for creating these beautiful cookies/cupcakes/loaves each week. You are the best!
A Dwight update
Looks like Dwight is having a good time!
Top of Alto del Perdon. If you seen the Way with Martin Sheen I think it was part of movie. Elevation is 790 meters.
Made it to Estella today. 23.4 k in a little over 5 hours. Have a nice hostel again. Day was cold and windy and the odd shower. Lots of grapes and olive trees. This is our Camino family. We look a little cold and wet.
Looking west from top of hill. If you zoom in the furthest town is where are now. You can see the rain coming!
Hi all. We left Estella at 7:40 am and made first stop at the wine fountain at 8:10. Bueatiful day with sun shine but cool at +2. Traveling was good on reasonable flat trail with on climb of 250 meters. Our goal was Los Arcos. We arrived at 1 pm. We felt pretty good so decided to stop for lunch (hamburger and fries) for three quarters of an hour then trekked another 8 k to Torres del Rio for at total of 30 k for the day. Our Camino family got a hostel room for the four of us. We are now relaxing, did our stretches (Manuel) is our leader and sure helps this old guy. At the wine fountain! Good way to start your day!

Irish Dinner (cooked by the Men of the Parish)
Saturday the luck of the Irish was at the Cathedral with the annual dinner cooked by the Men of the Parish. The dinner titled “Shenanigans”, was Irish themed and a delightful Irish stew was served. There were silent auction items, and Irish music and best of all a wonderful performance by the Irish Dancers!
A delightful evening for everyone involved
