Study the Bible in community through this drop-in participant-focused method of reading scripture together.  Discovery Bible Study is designed to meet the spiritual needs of our participants by considering what the biblical text tells us about God and human beings. 

You'll find us in the nave on Thursdays.  All are welcome!

We invite you to participate in our Book Study program via Zoom , similar to a book club!  For this month, we will be reading and discussing Henri Nouwen's book, Behold the Beauty of the Lord:  Praying with Icons, available at  Indigo or at your local Canadian bookstores.

Art Crawl is a wonderful way to experience Hamilton's growing art scene, do some local shopping, enjoy some downtown eateries, and visit some historical city sites.  The Cathedral has participated in Art Crawl since its inception.  Our doors are open from 7pm -10pm. 

Please feel free to wander in and explore the art, history,  and the beauty of our building.   We're happy to welcome you and we are available to answer any questions you may have.

Find out more here.

Art Crawl is a wonderful way to engage with the community and to celebrate our beautiful Cathedral!   The success of Art Crawl at the Cathedral relies heavily on volunteers.  

• We need enough volunteers to have 2 shifts:  7pm to 8:30pm & 8:30pm to 10pm.  Each shift is for 1.5 hours.
• Some volunteers will be responsible for hospitality, including greeting & guest support.
• A second set of volunteers will be responsible for Cathedral tours and information. 
• Orientation and training are available for both positions.

If interested, please email Anne Kae or the Cathedral Office.

Make sure to pick up a copy of our Fall 2026 brochure in the Narthex to plan your spiritual growth engagement this autumn.

Kick off Advent with this interactive workshop that helps you discern what spiritual gifts you have been given and how you might live into them.

Please RSVP by email to Rev. Monica.

Season of Creation 

The Season of Creation September 1 – October 4, 2026

 What is our Christian response?

The air we breathe, the water we drink, the forests and fields, and all the riches of creation are gifts from God.

We have been entrusted with their care and called to "safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the Earth."

Yet injustice, corruption, war, wildfires, floods, pollution, inequality, and excessive consumption threaten these precious gifts.

Our Christian response is faithful stewardship—planting, repairing, conserving, living simply, giving generously, speaking up for justice, and showing up to care for God's creation. Every small act is an act of hope.

Confirmation represents a mature commitment to the Christian faith and reaffirms their baptismal promises.  Usually, there is a period of preparation and instruction prior to their confirmation to ensure candidates understand the significance of the sacrament and the responsibilities they are undertaking.  

As the mother church of the Diocese, the Cathedral hosts confirmations for all parishes in the Diocese of Niagara.  Bishop Susan Bell will lead the service.

Since May 2000, the Diocese of Niagara has invited parishes to nominate a person from their parish annually, who has given of themselves to the parish, the diocese, and the Church.  The Bishop of the Diocese also nominates people to the Order of Niagara. It is a way of honouring the laity and the their ministry in the diocese. 

On October 25, Bishop Susan Bell will install this year's nominees from Lincoln and Hamilton-Haldimand to the Order of Niagara at a special service held at the Cathedral.

Congratulations to all recipients!

Please note:  The service at 10:30 will be livestreamed on the Cathedral's YouTube Channel.

From September to June our doors are open on the first Sunday of the month following the 10:30am service and coffee hour, for anyone to drop in for peace and reflection in the middle of our busy city.  Feel free to light a candle, say a prayer, or just sit quietly in this beautiful space. Maybe you have never been in the Cathedral and just want to have a look around.  Maybe you would just like to listen to some quiet, peaceful music.  Whoever you are, whatever brings you to our doors, you are very welcome. If you have any questions during your visit, there is someone on hand from our Cathedral Community.

All are very welcome to join us for a Taizé service every other month from September 2026 to  May 2027.

At a time of great stress and anxiety for many people, the peaceful songs, contemplative readings, and candlelit prayers in Taizé worship are a balm to the heart and spirit.  You are welcome to stay after the 10:30  service for the coffee hour and sit in the circle of chairs near the piano. The service lasts about half an hour.  If you have any questions about Taizé, please contact Bruce Burbidge.
