Complete a mandate form.
If you are a current parishioner of the Cathedral, Holy Spirit or you have left the church (because of various reasons) and would like a voice, please complete the mandate form which allows our canon lawyer to represent you. There is no financial obligation tied to signing the mandate form. Please email your signed mandate form to info@byzantine.us or contact us and we will be happy to send you one via U.S. mail.
