Our beloved friend and brother, The Very Rev. Ralph E. Baxter, Dean Emeritus, died peacefully last night, at home. He served this Cathedral as rector and the Diocese as Dean from 1990 until his retirement in 1995.

Please hold Eileen Baxter and their family in your prayers.

May Dean Ralph rest in peace and rise with Christ in glory.

This beautiful photo was taken in February of 2012 by Peter Moodie, our unofficial but wonderfully gifted and committed parish photographer, at the reception for the Celebration of New Ministry of the current Dean.
