Welcome Home!

The Cathedral is a community that loves to sing, laugh, eat, serve and worship God together in ways that send us refreshed and renewed into our daily lives—wherever that may take us.

If you are new to Vancouver, or are newly seeking a spiritual home, we invite you to join us for Sunday worship. Our Sunday services take place in person and are available via the Cathedral Livestream at 10:30am for Choral Eucharist, 1:30pm Eucharist with the St. Brigid's congregation and 8 pm for Compline. 

Our hope is that you’ll be able to get to know us through the website, and when you feel comfortable, you'll get to know us in person so you’ll have what you need in order to decide whether the Cathedral offers a community where you can plant roots.

You’re invited to get to know us in a way that makes the most sense to you.

 

Visiting the Cathedral

This is a quiet, reflective service which uses the language of the Book of Common Prayer. This service embraces the silence, beauty and mystery of this stream of the Anglican tradition. People attending this service are often searching for a short, contemplative start to their Sunday. (45 minutes) This service is currently on hiatus.

The Cathedral’s Choral Eucharist, using the Book of Alternative Services, is festive and intergenerational. This is a service filled with music, anchored by the Cathedral Choir, and a variety of musical guests or guest preachers. This congregation varies from the very young to those in their 90s, with everyone in between. (75 minutes) This service is currently available via livestream at thecathedral.ca/live

Once a month the Cathedral offers family focused in-person worship at the 1pm service. These are special services designed with a bit more wiggle room. Music, prayers, the Eucharist, and a children's talk are all included. This service is currently on hiatus.

St. Brigid’s is a vibrant, growing eucharistic community where questions are honoured, faith is nurtured, and discipleship pursued. The service is a dressed-down, contemplative, contemporary liturgy, with activities intentionally set out for children. (75 minutes) This is a hybrid service: you can take part on-site or on-line. Contact clare@thecathedral.ca if you want to attend virtually. 

A timeless, contemplative, centring service featuring Gregorian Chant that seamlessly blends music, scripture, and prayer. This service is a reminder of God’s nearness in the darkness, as well as, in the light. The Women’s and Men’s Scholae alternately sing the office of Compline. People who attend are searching for a spiritual experience, through beauty, mystery, song, and silence. (30 - 40 minutes) Compline is currently available via livestream at thecathedral.ca/live
