‘Love God; And Love Each Other.’ – Jesus |
|
Thank you for joining us online and connecting with us.
God’s dream for the world is that we live in just peace and tender harmony, fostering a global community in which each members’ rights and responsibilities are affirmed and fulfilled. This community is marked by ‘love,’ in thought, word, and deed. For Christians, there’s nothing esoteric about this ‘love’ – it is visible, tangible, measureable – which means, for the Church, it’s also something we can, and do, practice together.

Gather 'Round the Table!
As Episcopalians, we hold the sacrament of the Eucharist in high esteem. We are gathered together by our Lord to remember, to pray, and to commune with God and each other. And at this sacred table, all are welcome, and all are equal. In this, we are connected with all who have come before and all who will come after—and we are transformed.
You are invited to join us beginning September 15th at another table. We are delighted to welcome you back to the Cathedral for the Round Table Gatherings, both virtual and in person (later this fall.) We begin with fellowship at 6pm, program at 6:30 and close at 7:30 pm.” Register here!
Fall —Benedictine Spirituality (Virtual)
Join us virtually as we dive into Benedictine Spirituality. Benedictine Spirituality is focused on the search for God through life in community. It is a way of seeing—ourselves, time, others and spiritual growth, that leads to life—a “Rule of Life” What does it mean to live our lives based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ? To see and be fully seen in a community where grace and humility are palpable, and brokenness is welcomed faithfully? How can a life of obedience, conversion and stability help us live more mindfully and purposefully each and every day?
- September 15th—An Introduction to Benedictine Spirituality with +Bishop Craig Loya
- September 22nd—The role of Benedictine Spirituality in Community with Rev Jan Bros, Abbey Way Community
- September 29th—The role of Benedictine Spirituality in the Individual with Dr. Christine Munger, Director of The Episcopal House of Prayer
- October 6th – The role of Spirituality in the Sharing of our Gifts with Rev Anna Ostenso Moore

A Celebratory Evensong & The Seating of the X Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota
We will observe any current recommendations of the CDC and local officials. The event will also be live-streamed.
A cathedral is a church that contains the cathedra of a bishop, thus serving as the central church of a diocese, or episcopate.
A cathedra is the raised throne of a bishop in the early Christian basilica. When used with this meaning, it may also be called the bishop's throne. With time, the related term cathedral became synonymous with the "seat", or principal church, of a bishopric.

Godly Play – We’re All Part of the Story
For every story told, there are more parts that could be told. There are more people and perspectives, and connections to many times and places. It’s good to wonder what other parts of a story might be important. It’s good to hear the insights of others.
I hope you’ll bring your experiences and perspectives to our sacred stories this Fall. We’ll be online Tuesday evenings, and everyone is invited: children, adults, youth, individuals, families, anyone who wants to take part! More information is coming soon.
You’re also welcome to contact Monica Kruger, Godly Play Coordinator.

For the pilgrim, the journey is as important as the destination.
Pilgrims often travel together, in groups. Every step is taken in community and sustained by camaraderie. In these last perilous months our journeys have been difficult. But our fellow pilgrims within and outside of St. Mark's have borne us up when we faltered. You are invited to come to the Cathedral for a pause in your pilgrimage to intercede, give thanks, praise, or sit in the quiet and listen for the "still small voice." Take the opportunity to look around and recall the friends who sit near you and pray for their pilgrimages along with your own.
Our Personal Pilgrimage schedule.
- 11am to 1pm Monday - Thursday

Order your nametag and be
Ready for Fall Kick-Off!
It is so wonderful that we are beginning to experience Sunday Worship together again! And as face masks will continue to be a part of our procedures, a personal name tag is extra important. If you have your Saint Mark’s name tag, please wear it to worship. If you can’t find it, or it is not in good shape, please order a new one here.
When the new name tags arrive at St Mark’s, you will receive an email to inform you and your new nametag will be available in the main entry to Worship on our new nametag easel!.
