The Regimental Band of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles (24 members), directed by Capt. Ryan Wehrle, will join us for the Sunday morning service at the Cathedral; all are asked to be seated by 10:25 a.m., when the Band will play the prelude. They will also play for a number of pieces during the service itself, including the National Anthem at the beginning of the service, and the Royal Anthem at the end, and the postlude.
The Very Rev. Paul N. Johnson will preach and preside, and the Cathedral musician, Helen Suh, will be at the organ. Immediately following the worship service all are invited outside, with the members of the Regiment, to gather at the Rifles’ Memorial in our historic Churchyard. A brief military ceremony, including rifle salute and two minutes of silence, will take place there.
Following the ceremony outside all are most welcome to join us downstairs in the John West Hall for a reception provided by the Cathedral. Thanks to Mavis Ford for organizing a warm welcome here for the Band and other members of the Regiment.
FROM THE DEAN: A choir I sing with—Canticum, led by the artistic team of John Wiens and Janet Peters—is putting on a concert on the timely theme of peace. Our repertoire will include African, Estonian, Latin, Cree, and German music—and some in English, too! The songs are all very moving and lyrical, with rich and beautiful harmonies.
This concert is also a fundraiser – a portion of the ticket sales will go to Ka Ni Kanichihk, a local organization that works with Indigenous people, especially children, to help them move forward and heal after adversity and trauma. The concert is on Sunday, Nov 19, at 3 pm and will last about an hour. It’s here at St. John’s Cathedral, 135 Anderson Ave. (just east of Main St. on the North side of St. John’s Park). You can reserve tickets online (Canticum | Choir | Winnipeg | Tickets (canticumwpg.ca), or buy directly from me on Sunday morning, or at the door when you come early for the concert!
A few people have asked re. payment method. We are not set up to take credit cards. Only cash or cheque made out to ‘Canticum Winnipeg’. Thank you so much! Hope to see you here.
