The Very Reverend
Jep Streit, Dean

St. Paul’s Cathedral looks like a bank on the outside and a United Nations meeting on the inside. Our Music Director was a musician with Blue Man Group for seven years; the Priest and Lead Organizer for the Crossing, the Cathedral's emerging church service, is a published author; our Canon Pastor does yoga; and I write fiction and love to snowboard. This is an Episcopal cathedral?

Since before 9/11, Muslims have gathered here for Ju’mah, their weekly Friday prayers. People who want to blend ancient church traditions with urban grooves join us every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. for The Crossing, our emerging church worship community. The vibrant Episcopal Chinese Boston Ministry welcomes hundreds for fellowship and worship every week. And every Sunday, you will find honest and engaging preaching that challenges hearts and minds, along with music that elevates the soul. This is an Episcopal cathedral?

We’ve been offering lunch to hungry and homeless people every Monday for 25 years, and we welcome the same poor neighbors as active members and leaders. Since 1929 we’ve hosted “Sunday Morning at St. Paul’s,” America’s longest continuously broadcast religious radio program. Our Lenten program features inspirational black preachers from every corner of Boston and beyond. This is an Episcopal cathedral?

We believe faith formation is a lifetime event, beginning at infancy and extending through every stage of our lives, and that intentional practice makes us a better community and better Christians. We believe God does in fact love the world so much that God sent Jesus, and we try to welcome everyone to the feast as Jesus did.

This is an Episcopal Cathedral, your Episcopal cathedral. Please join us to worship and serve God. I think it could change your life. I know your presence and gifts will change ours.

In faith,
Jep
