At
St. Paul’s Cathedral welcomes everyone with open arms and open hearts!
The Cathedral community is intentionally vibrant, active, diverse and
inclusive. Our joy is in being a loving, accepting spiritual home - that
serves as the face of God - to our community and to everyone who wishes
to be part of our downtown parish.
Worship of God, together in community, is integral to who we are at St. Paul's.
What to Expect
In Episcopal worship, we nurture our faith by celebrating Holy
Communion most Sundays. We engage our minds through reading Holy
Scripture and hearing a thought-provoking sermon. We engage our senses
through beautiful, reverent surroundings and often through music that
touches the mind and the heart, in the rich, diverse Anglican and
American musical traditions.
Each of our Sunday services have a different expression of
worship, and we worship using the 1979 Book of Common Prayer with
traditional language (Rite I) at 8:00am, contemporary language at 9:00am
(Rite II), traditional language at 11:15am (Rite I), and a rotating
schedule of special 5:00pm services. You can watch any of our services online as they are live-streamed.

First Time to Worship
After you find a place to park in the North or South Cathedral
Parking Lot, enter the gates closest to 7th and Robinson and be greeted
by our volunteers, who can direct you to the next service where you will
be guided into the sanctuary by our ushers. Be sure to take a bulletin
and let the usher or attendant know you're new or visiting so they can
properly welcome you. Enjoy some quiet, contemplative time to pray,
meditate and listen to music before the service starts. As a liturgical
church, the experience of Episcopal worship may be new to you. If so -
Please, don't worry! You might observe kneeling, communion, and other
liturgical practices. There are cards in the pew racks to read about
these practices and what to expect during the service.
Wondering
what to wear? On Sunday mornings, worshippers may dress casually in
jeans, business/sharp casual', or even in their Sunday best. Dress
however you feel comfortable! We promise you will be welcomed, and there
is expected no dress code except to please, be dressed!
