The Cathedral has an abundance of small groups that allow people to join with others in something that they are passionate about. From the theater and arts to movie nights to Foyers Dinners, it’s easy to gather around common interests and experience the gift of community and shared life.
Gatherings
Prayer Partners | Begins January 2024
A new ministry will start in the new year: intergenerational prayer partners. Prayer offers an opportunity for people in all generations to simultaneously connect with God and with others. This is true whether you are in the presence of the person(s) you are praying for, or simply in prayer for them. The idea is to connect people from different generations who might not normally interact. For more information and to register, contact Marilyn Vengroff (marilynvengroff@gmail.com)

Each January they host a brunch to honor St. Aelred, a 12th-century abbot, author, and major figure in English church life who taught that friendship is a gift from God. They host the Spiritual Pride dinner and participate in the St. Pete Pride parade and street fair. Everybody is welcome to share in this vibrant ministry.
