A cathedral is not simply a larger parish with more moving parts. It is a public church. It belongs, in a particular way, to the whole city.

The weekly Upper Zoom Bible Study is held on Thursdays at 7:30 PM. We gather online for a time of learning, reflection, and conversation about the upcoming Sunday's readings, using a method inspired by Lectio Divina. It’s a wonderful opportunity to grow in faith and connect with one another, even from the comfort of home.

All are welcome to BYOB (Bring Your Own Bible) and join!

Please email The Rev. Claude St-Denis, claude@thecathedral.ca, if you would like more information.

Children are invited to come downstairs to the Park Room for a Godly Play* lesson. They will come back upstairs and rejoin parents for communion. 

*Godly Play is a beautiful and thoughtful Montessori-informed approach that nurtures children's spirituality as they engage with the stories and sacraments of the church. It was developed by Dr. Jerome Berryman, an American Anglican priest. 

Are you looking for a way to deepen your spiritual life? Every weekday morning at 9:30 AM the Cathedral holds Morning Prayer.

We will follow a simple liturgy with a Psalm, a Reading, Prayer and Silence. This form of regular, daily prayer is used in the Anglican Communion and a number of other church denominations. All are welcome to start the day in prayer with us.

Morning Prayer takes place online via Zoom. To join in, please click HERE at 9:30 AM on weekdays.

As part of the Cathedral’s Health and Safety practices, all the doors in the Cathedral have been re-keyed.

During Lent—a season shaped by fasting, reflection, and generosity—we renew our commitment to caring for the earth by reducing our paper use. For the next five Sundays, whenever a hymn appears in Common Praise, the bulletin will list only its title and number. This simple change allows us to reduce each bulletin from...
