Book Signing with local author, Laura Weber, for her book, "Goddesses Don't Wear Orange."

Saturday, 11/22 from 10 AM - 12 PM

Laura Weber is a professional at awkward encounters, meeting eccentric people, and clumsily learning life lessons…so she writes about it. Social worker by day, human being by night––she’s seen it all. Except for a teacup pig in a raincoat (but she lives in hope). She resides in Pennsylvania with her husband Aric and her dogs, Apollo and Olive.

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 Centering Prayer on Tuesday, November 25:

Join us at 6:00 P.M. for a conversation led by Mary Dwyer, a longtime practitioner who is recognized as a teacher and guide in Centering Prayer. Join us to deepen your understanding and experience of this spiritual practice rooted in ancient Christian tradition, adapted for today’s seekers.

At 7:00 P.M. we will pray using Centering Prayer – a Christian meditation practice focused on cultivating deep interior silence and presence. This session welcomes everyone seeking a quiet space for spiritual reflection and stillness.

We're taking this show on the road! Join Werner Books, Perry's Pizza, and Erie Ale Works AT Erie Ale Works for a book and beer pairing event with complimentary pizza.

Discover six hand-picked titles from a variety of genres, each thoughtfully paired with a unique beer crafted by the experts at Erie Ale Works. During the event, enjoy a guided tasting experience featuring both the books and the beverages, with the option to purchase your favorite books and/or beer.

Tickets are $50 dollars per person and include a presentation of six books and six paired beers with ONE book and pint of beer of your choice included with the ticket, pizza for dinner provided by Perry's Pizza, a night of mingling with other awesome people, and a tour of the Erie Ale Works brewing facility!
