What is a Cathedral?
Essentially, a cathedral is simply a building, a place where the real Church (the people of God) gathers throughout the week to serve and worship God and minister to one another.  What makes a cathedral different is that it is the place where the bishop's seat or throne (a "cathedra") is located.  As it is the bishop's seat, so to speak, a cathedral becomes in a real sense, the home parish of the entire diocese. 
The vocation of any cathedral is to draw people together for the mission we share in Christ.  Part of that mission is the building up of relationships and seeking ways to engage our larger world.

​In days of old, many churches and cathedrals had red-painted doors.  This was meant to symbolize the fact that these sacred spaces were sanctuaries, safe spaces, places of refuge to any and all.  While our doors currently are yellow, we do intend that St. Andrew's be a safe place for all.

We look forward to seeing you soon!   In the meanwhile, please pray for us, and pray with us in our online services.

We would be grateful for your ongoing support of the work of this parish both in prayer and financially.  Donations can be sent to us using CanadaHelps.org or via EMT to donations@standrewscathedral.ca.  And thank you.
