Blue Christmas Mass for Grief Support

Sunday, December 21 at 4pm

This healing service offers solace for those who are facing life after a loss. The Blue Christmas service allows a space to feel grief during a time when many people feel joy. All are welcome to attend.

Meditation and Contemplative Prayer

Mondays 6:30 - 7:30 PM

Each week, we practice making conscious contact with God by showing up as we are, gathering all of our fears, anxieties, and life circumstances that need special care, and simply bringing them to God. Our time together includes a guided meditation based on an ancient monastic prayer practice, time for intercession, silence, and beautiful ancient chants.

We Grow

Dean's Forum

10-11am in the Mercer Library

At this week's Dean's Forum, the Dean and Deacon Denise facilitate the final session of our Nicea 2025 series with a conversation about ecclesiology, also known as the doctrine of the Church.

Fellowship in Faith

10 - 11am - at the Mercer School

During Advent, children who are not rehearsing for the Christmas Eve Pageant are invited to create their own Christmas icons! Inspired by the colorful work of Ukrainian artist Nastja Paruta-Dashko, whose icons of Jesus with children were recently brought to the Cathedral by Director of Music Larry Tremsky, we’ll explore a different part of the Nativity story each week as we create our own works of sacred art.

Basic Christian Formation Program

Coming in January

Beginning Sunday, January 11 at 10:15am in the Mercer School

The Basic Christian Formation course begins Sunday January 11, 10:15 am at the Mercer School -- a multi-week course to engage questions of faith from a Christian perspective in the Anglican tradition. It serves both as preparation for adult confirmation, reception or baptism, or as a refresher for those who want to renew their faith. Register on Realm here.

We Serve

Soup Donations needed!

Neighbors being Neighbors

We are in need of donations of canned Progresso Chicken Noodle for our Neighbors being Neighbors ministry. Now that winter has begun, we will be serving the soup twice per week with our sandwiches. Please bring donations to church, or drop at the Cathedral office in See House during the week.

We Pray

You can submit prayer requests online here.

Third Sunday of Advent

Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

A prayer for the Bishop Search

Almighty God, giver of every good gift and source of all wisdom and understanding, look graciously on your church and so guide the minds and hearts of those who will choose our next bishop. We pray that you will grant wisdom and discernment to those who offer themselves as candidates. Give them a spirit of revelation and knowledge of your will, so that they may care for all your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
