NOTICES
CALLING ALL SINGERS: The St Alban’s Cathedral Choir is calling… and it might just be calling you!
Whether you’re a seasoned chorister or someone who sings happily in the car or shower, young or youngat-heart, we’d love for you to join us. Singing is simply better when we come together as a community. Come be part of something beautiful (and joyful) — your voice will truly make a difference. Curious? Our Chairperson, Chaile Makaleng (082 374 1364) will be delighted to give you the lowdown on becoming a choir member.
EASTER OFFERING
At Easter, it is our custom to make a special Easter Offering for the Dean as Rector
of the Parish. This is a once-a-year opportunity for the Cathedral community to say “thank you” in a practical
way for his ministry, leadership and pastoral care among us. We invite parishioners, guilds and friends of
St Alban’s to consider making a generous contribution towards this Easter Offering. The full amount received
will be given as a personal gift to the Dean, as a sign of our appreciation and encouragement in his work of
preaching, teaching, presiding, pastoral care and guiding the life of our parish. Contributions to the Easter
Offering may be placed in the specially marked envelopes in the pews, or made by EFT using the reference
“Easter Offering – Dean”.

CALL TO MEN
As part of the preparations for Holy Week, all men are urged to assemble at the Cathedral on Saturday, 28 March 2026 at10h00 , for a thorough cleaning of the grounds, garden, walls, etc. Men are encouraged to bring cleaning stuff, high pressure washers (for mould and all), garden equipment, refuse bags, paint and brushes, etc.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
There is a need for vigilance in safety and security on the church premises. Parents
are kindly asked to sit with their children after the communion/blessing as teachers return to their pews in
the church and there is no adult supervision when the children are playing outside. Thank you for your
continued support.
REGULATION ON COMMUNION
Parishioners are reminded that communion in two kinds has been made
available for those who wish to share in the common cup. As has always been the case, persons who wish
may continue to choose to receive communion in one kind only. Intinction (by placing the host into the blood
by either the minister or the communicant) is not permitted for health reasons. The person’s hand touching
the contents of the cup or the clerics touching the communicant’s mouth is unhygienic.
LECTIONARIES
Kindly note that lectionaries for 2026 are now available. They may be purchased from the
office for R 45.00 or from the Churchwardens after the Sunday services.
WELCOMING SESSION FOR NEW PARISH MEMBERS
All members who joined our parish from 2025 to the present are warmly invited to attend a Welcoming Session on Sunday, 12 April, after the 09:30 church service. This session is intended to officially welcome you and introduce you to the various guilds and ministries of our Church. Kindly register your name and surname on the back of the church notice board or contact one of the Churchwardens. This will assist with planning and logistics for the session
