For the month of November, the Cathedral is hosting the Faithful Witness anti-gun violence program. Faithful Witness is a year-long diocesan program to raise awareness and bear witness to the reality of gun violence in our communities. Part of our witness is through this Memorial to the Lost, a t-shirt memorial from Heeding God's Call to End Gun Violence that includes the name, age, and death for those killed by gun violence in Philadelphia. The shirts on our campus represent 20 of the over 500 lives lost to gun violence through homicide in Philadelphia in the last 22 months. 

We're especially grateful to join Faithful Witness in November, the month when we welcome hundreds of people from across our diocese through our doors for Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania's Diocesan Convention.

This program is a part of the Diocesan Anti-Gun Violence Committee. To learn more or join in their work, you can visit their Facebook page.

God, make us instruments of your peace.

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. (Matthew 25:35) 

In the tradition of the earliest Cathedrals, we are a place unconditional hospitality and welcome to all who walk through our open doors.  We minister to the hungry seeking physical sustenance through the Cathedral’s many feeding programs, as well as to the despairing seeking spiritual solace and sustenance through prayer, fellowship, and pastoral care. We are grateful for a dedicated group of volunteers and the other agencies we have partnered with that include Philabundance, the Clothes Closet, and Episcopal Community Services.

Cathedral Table Ministries - All are welcome to these ministries

Throughout the week, our doors are open to connect with our neighbors over our shared need for food, clothing, and community. Our service and outreach programs are a part of Cathedral Table Ministries. All of our outreach ministries center on meeting one another at God's table. Whether through worship, service, or some combination of both. We're always looking for volunteers to support these ministries, and all are invited to participate.
