The Cathedral Newsletter for March 2010 can be found here.
The Common Cup and Swine Flu
In line with the Archbishops current advice we share the common chalice at Exeter Cathedral. If you prefer not to receive from the chalice, it is perfectly acceptable for members of the congregation to receive in one kind and you may simply go back to your seat before the chalice is brought to you. Again, in line with the advice we ask you not to 'intinct' (i.e. dip the host in the chalice) or receive the host on the tongue as this is considered un-hygienic.
Prayers for Healing
A short service of prayer for healing will be taking place every Monday beginning at 1pm in the Lady Chapel. All are welcome to attend. We will use the prayers that have been left during the week on the board outside the Lady Chapel, and there will be space for prayer requests bought by all who attend. Any questions please to Canon Tom Honey. Please note there is no Prayers for Healing on Monday 21st December due to Lunchtime Carols in the Quire at 1.00pm.

Lottery: Friends of Exeter Cathedral School
