The Cathedral Parish was established in 1821 by Bishop John England, the first Bishop of Charleston. The Cathedral was named for Saint Finbar. A second cathedral was erected on this site in 1856 under the names of Saints John and Finbar. This fine Gothic structure was destroyed in the 1861 fire. The present cathedral was completed in 1907and is named for Saint John.
Bethel has been graced with a silent auction item created by our own fellow church member and local artist, Michael Richmond. It is a beautiful framed and matted pencil drawing entitled “Cathedral Entryway”. The piece won, among other awards, a ribbon in a national show in Atlanta where artists from 35 different states competed. Mike’s originals and prints have been featured in many galleries in the Charleston area. “Cathedral Entryway” will be displayed in the Fellowship hallway for 2 months during silent bidding. Mike has asked to set the minimum bid at $600.00, as the piece would normally sell for $980.00. All proceeds will go to the Restoration. Please place your bid on-line or at the church office.
