Welcome to Saint George's Cathedral
Come and Behold!
Stand Fast in the Faith
The Cathedral Church of Saint George is a house of prayer for all people, and you are always welcome.
Since 1792, this Cathedral has been a spiritual home for the Anglican Diocese of Ontario as well as the greater Kingston community. We seek to serve and love God and our neighbours, and are committed to growing in faithfulness and in responding to God’s call for us as people of faith in our community and beyond. From an intimate service in the chapel, to a grand Choral Eucharist's in the nave, there is something for you here. Join us!

"St. George’s is a place where I can meet my God, in the liturgy, the music, the preaching, the beauty of the Cathedral sanctuary, all surrounded by a warm and caring community of faith. And in the best of the Anglican tradition, it is a welcoming place for a diverse expression of Christian faith."

Under the Dome Tea Room
Join us at the Under the Dome Tea Room! On Tuesdays from 10am-12pm, the Cathedral is open as a charming venue for building connections in the downtown core. Stop by for tea, coffee, and delightful nibbles, and connect with your neighbours over conversation or a puzzle, or perhaps settle into a nook and study. The building is simply open for you and all offerings are available by donation. We'd love to see you!

Advent Bible Study
Join Fr. Gerry Moore on Wednesday's in Advent to explore The Clash of Two Kingdoms. Gathering in the library after the midday Eucharist (around 1:15pm), this drop-in session is a wonderful way to deepen your journey through Advent to Christmas. These sessions are always highly informative, and a great way to connect with others.

Cathedral Music
We are proud of our musical heritage here at the Cathedral, and are blessed by the fine quality of our choir, which sings from Labour Day through to Canada Day Weekend. The weekly musical offering of the choir and the organist are at the core of the kind of worship for which we are known, and we continue to be committed to the finest musical offerings we can muster.
The Cathedral Choir sings every Sunday at the 10:30am Choral Eucharist, bi-weekly for Wednesday 7:00pm Choral Evensong, for funerals, and at various special services throughout the year. Several times a year, they travel around the Diocese to offer services in other parishes.
