Every Friday, the Cathedral hosts a lunch. We call this endeavor Clara’s at the Cathedral. Clara’s Kitchen is a non profit agency that teaches culinary arts to people who are struggling with poverty or released from prison. In addition to providing a formal luncheon at the Cathedral each Friday, they cater events. Sixty percent of their graduates are now employed.
I entered the Cathedral fellowship hall last Friday and was overwhelmed. A violinist played as the patrons were professionally served. White table clothes and beautiful utensils made for an elegant presentation. And the food was superb.
A young woman served as our waitor. She was friendly, solicious, polite. She did not hover but seemed to appear exactly when my iced tea needed refilling. I was impressed.
This is it, I thought. This is the best kind of restaurant, serving hope along with a delicious meal. And all for a mere $10.I left full of good food and good will. Thanks be to God.
