This fall, we invite you to journey with us at the Cathedral of St. Paul as we experience and encounter the Holy through art, music, community, and worship. Sacred Pathways includes four unique worship opportunities combined with formation or fellowship each Tuesday of the month.

Join us for Celtic Spirituality on Tuesday, November 11:
At 6:00 P.M. we present Celtic Spirituality in Poetry. Although Meister Eckhart is not of the Celtic tradition, he is a kindred spirit: John O’Donahue writes of Eckhart in his books. Learn about Eckhart and his sense of our soul’s ground in God’s ground, using accessible poetry.

Then at 7:00 P.M. Step further into the Celtic Tradition with Walking the Celtic Way. Walk the rounds to prayer stations or simply sit immersed in Celtic music, re-centering your soul in the Sacred. Come into the peace and the natural, contemplative rhythm of this ancient form of Christianity.

Help your child get ready to read! Our interactive storytimes feature books, music, movement, art, and more. All ages welcome! Come join the fun whenever your family's schedule allows. Questions? Call 814-451-6936.

Are you looking to make your fiber arts project time a bit more social?

Come and join the Millcreek Branch Knit and Crochet Club. The community room will be open from 10:00-12:00 for individuals to bring in their own knitting or crocheting projects and work on them in a friendly, communal environment. Participants of any skill level are welcome: all you need is an active project and a desire to be around other fiber artists!

Learning how to knit and crochet doesn't have to be intimidating. The library has Maker Kits to get you started, from crochet to long loom and round loom knitting.
