Sunday, Jan. 4 at 4:30pm: Epiphany Lessons & Carols with Chalking of the Doors

Join us for a beautiful Epiphany service of readings, hymns, and choral music as we follow the journey of the wise men and reflect on the early ministry of Jesus. We will also bless the cathedral and all who will enter in the coming year through the ancient ceremony of the chalking of the doors. The service begins with an organ recital at 4:00pm. All are welcome!

Tuesdays at 1:00pm: Organ Recitals 

Experienced organists share their talents on the Cathedral’s 5000 pipe organ. The program changes monthly, and a variety of composers are featured. Organ recitals resume on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026 and are always free and open to the public. Schedule here
