Community Calendar

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 Sacred Conversations & Sacred Simplicity on Tuesday, November 4:
Sacred Conversations at 6:00 P.M. led by Gary Loncki. Featuring the writings of Meister Eckhart. Learn more about Eckhart’s mystical theology, particularly his idea of our soul’s ground being the space where one experiences a deep union with God.

Sacred Simplicity at 7:00 P.M. This service offers meditative prayer, silence, and music. Its most recognizable feature, drawn from the French community of Taizé, is its simple, repetitive chants. These chants are meant to quiet the mind and open the heart to God. Gather with us as we seek peace, unity and the quiet presence of God.

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.
