2020 Annual Report common cathedral

Looking back at the past year, one word that comes to mind is “resiliency.”

2020 brought unforeseen challenges and heartbreaks, but it ultimately made us a stronger community and organization. By God’s grace, this year has given us a new appreciation for digging deep and finding resiliency within.

In early March of 2020, as we were learning about COVID-19 and the significant restrictions it would bring to the city and our community, we made the brave decision that we would not close. We would keep programs open and continue to be a radically welcoming place, where all could seek refuge. This was particularly important because many programs across the city were either reduced or closed completely. Thus, our constant presence became a lifeline for folks on the street. It did mean that we needed to rethink our programs to ensure social distancing and to acquire enough personal protection equipment. And we did!

Throughout 2020 we did not miss a single day! Sundays continued on the Common with lunch for 150 people each week and worship for all. Our staff took to the streets on Mondays and Tuesdays to find and care for people wherever they happened to be. On Wednesdays we opened common art, offering a place to create beautiful works of art. On Thursdays and Fridays we offered BostonWarm, our day center, where people were welcomed inside to a warm space with food, access to bathrooms, and good company.

What we were also reminded of during 2020 is that our supporters, donors, and partners are the best. When we needed more food – it showed up. When we needed masks – they were at our programs the next day. When we needed funding – donations arrived immediately. This confirmed something we have known for a long time: common cathedral is the church community not only of those who call the streets home but also all of our supporters throughout .

During this year of challenges, we were filled with gratitude by the love and support that all our supporters provided. In the name of some of our most vulnerable neighbors, we say:

THANK YOU!

Rev. Robin Lutjohann, Board Chair Amanda Grant-Rose, Executive Director

This year was nothing like what we expected, but common cathedral was blessed to have people to help Board of Directors provide important resources to our programs. We’ve included sections recognizing those who gave generously with their money, time, and talents. Our 2020 donors helped fund the programs that Rev. Robin Lutjohann, remained open throughout the pandemic; the groups who came on Sunday afternoons provided meals Chair and joy to the worship service; the volunteers who brought in food throughout the week kept our Pastor, Faith Lutheran community fed when many places were closed; and churches, groups, and troops who participated in Church, Cambridge MA our CityReach - whether classic or modified - met our community and provided much needed winter clothing. We could stay open because of the generosity of every one of you. Thank you!
