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 Radiant Faith on Tuesday, December 16:
At 6:00 P.M. Gather around our table with the support of Compton’s Table. This shared meal is more than nourishment—it’s a time of fellowship, connection, and belonging. You are welcomed into a community where you are seen, valued, and loved.

At 7:00 P.M. Radiant Faith: A queer-centered gathering of worship, wonder, and welcome. Our gatherings are for spiritual seekers and allies and offer a Christian-rooted encounter with the Divine—one who dwells within us and in the sacred connection we share with one another.

Wear your most festive jammies and celebrate the Christmas season with your friends at the library! We’ll learn about Christmas traditions from all over as we share stories and songs. All families are welcome to attend, whether you’re getting ready to celebrate Christmas or would simply like to learn more about the holiday!
