The history of what is now Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral begins at the United States Armory in Springfield in May 1817. Come review with the current cathedral dean, The Very Rev. Tom Adams Callard and senior warden, Roland E. Holstead, PhD, the amazing audacity of the superintendent of the armory, Col. Roswell Lee, and his determination to provide his workers with a place to worship who were, because of their employment, barred from attending First Church, Court Square. Learn more about Merrick Park, the Quadrangle, and the Puritan. Take the optional tour of cathedral windows and carvings and a demonstration of the Austin Organ by Cathedral Director of Music, Joseph O’ Berry, all within the hour.
Presented by Tom Callard, Dean, and Roland Holstead, PhD., Senior Warden, Christ Church Cathedral
