Ever wondered what it takes to run a cozy cat café? Join us for a special behind-the-scenes experience just for teens! You’ll get an exclusive tour of the café, meet the feline residents, and learn how staff care for the cats, and create a welcoming environment for both people and pets. Discover how the café partners with local shelters, what it takes to keep cats healthy and happy, and how you can get involved—whether as a volunteer, future employee, or animal advocate. You’ll also have time to ask questions, snap some photos, and of course, enjoy some purr-sonal time with the cats. For ages 13-18 in grades 8-12. Registration required.

This event takes place at the Purrista cat Cafe: 30 W 8th St, Erie, PA 16501

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.

SoulCollage® at 6:00 P.M. An intuitive process inviting us to access our inner wisdom through the power of image. In community with others, create a personal collaged card and discover its message and meaning for you. No artistic ability required – but bring your sense of adventure! Led by The Rev. Laurie Smith, an interspiritual minister, interfaith spiritual director, artist, and SoulCollage® Facilitator. Her soul is grounded in Buddhist practice and nourished by Celtic and Benedictine spirituality, all enriched through interfaith curiosity and respect. Laurie cultivates joy by spending time in nature, travelling, and creating art.

Walking the Celtic Way at 7:00 P.M. 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.

If you are a kid who likes bricks, blocks, and being boisterous, then you should come join the Building Buddies Brigade!

The community room is open weekly to allow children to get to know each other and play together using Edinboro's extensive supply of building materials. There is no supervision and no agenda: just a room full of building materials and enough space for everyone to have fun making something (and of course knocking it down). KEVA blocks, Lincoln Logs, Bankers Box Bricks and more will be available. Children of all ages are welcome, and parents can enjoy the chance to meet other parents in the community. Recommended age is 1 to 6 years old, although older children can accompany younger siblings.
