Faith Formation The Faith Formation (religious education) programs at St. Paul Cathedral are designed to meet the educational needs of all ages in the life long process of spiritual growth and formation in their faith.

“The most valuable gift that the Church can offer to the bewildered and restless world of our time is to form within it Christians who are confirmed in what is essential and who are humbly joyful in their faith. Catechesis will teach this to them . . .” (On Catechesis in Our Time -Pope John Paul II)

Ladies of Charity Women, parishioners or members of the community, who join in imitating our Lord through service to those in need--spiritually, emotionally and temporally.

Liturgical Ministries

In liturgical celebrations each person, minister or layperson, who has an office to perform, should do all of, but only, those parts which pertain to that office by the nature of the rite and the principles of liturgy. (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy)

Music Ministry "...sacred song, united to the words, form a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy."
(Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy)
