HOW WE HAVE IMPACT . . . THE ST. CATHERINE’S GROUP, with great Cathedral support, does its small part to exemplify several of the vision outcomes for the Cathedral Church of All Saints (attentive nurturing of common life; abundant hospitality; enriched opportunities for intelligent inquiry and dialogue; compassionate service, advocacy and justice building in our community and beyond; and a ministry of presence). Living into our Cathedral mission of being a holy and spiritual place where we love and care for one another, and where strangers can become friends, we invite your engagement in the St. Catherine’s ministry at whatever level of commitment works for you. LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PATRON SAINT . . . SAINT CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA The most popular legend regarding St. Catherine, reputed to be the daughter of Costus, governor of Alexandria, is her alleged announcement to her parents that she would only marry someone who surpassed her in everything, such that "His beauty was more radiant than the shining of the sun, His wisdom governed all creation, His riches were spread throughout all the world." With this description, Catherine was seeing herself as the bride of Christ, as it would be he alone who fit the requirements! Catherine remained a virtuous woman, unmarried, and continues to be venerated both for her chasity and her erudition. While many of the stories of St. Catherine have limited historical basis, it is believed that she succeeded in converting to Christianity the wife of the Roman Emperor Maximus (285-305), but was not successful with the emperor himself. Rather, he ordered her to be put in prison, and, when the pagan wise men who visited her converted to Christianity, she was condemned to death on the breaking wheel, an instrument of torture. According to legend, the wheel itself broke when she touched it, so, in her teens, she was beheaded instead. St. Catherine’s principal symbol, therefore, is the spiked wheel, which has become known as St. Catherine’s Wheel.
