In response to the ever-present housing crisis and to provide a warm and welcoming experience to friends in need, the Cathedral in partnership with St. Matthew's House, The City of Hamilton, and Hamilton Out of the Cold, will be opening Cathedral Café from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Our guests will continue to access seating, relief from the weather, friendly and welcoming faces, activities, programs and services, washrooms, and food, with the main focus being to provide breakfast and lunch daily.
The Cathedral Café is pleased to provide a continental style breakfast from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and a hot lunch from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
