Situated in the the cathedral's grand acoustics and architecture, the Cathedral Organ has been the "voice of the St. Mary's Cathedral" since its construction and installation in 1905 by the Karn-Warren Organ Company of Woodstock, Ontario. It is a centrepiece of the musical heritage of Kingston and the surrounding region, and its restoration is of importance to the wider community.

The Forgotten Ferals is a 100% volunteer run/foster-based local cat rescue that provides various services to Kingston and the surrounding communities. It is our goal to try to reduce the cat overpopulation by helping to spay and neuter as many “Community Cats” (feral, stray, free-roaming) as we can.
In 2018, The Forgotten Ferals took 275 cats & kittens into their adoption program, finding homes for 227, and also helped provide TNVR (Trap/Neuter/Vaccinate/Return) for an additional 48 cats. We rely solely on adoption fees, fundraising and donations.
We hope to see you there!
