Formation

The Cloisters of the Cathedral are actually active ministry groups around which the parish has organized itself to best carry out the Gospel in this place and this time – a way of organizing for mission that is not static. It is a way enfolding people and ministries to intentionally nurture existing areas of ministry and to create space for new ones.

Architecturally, "cloisters" are both an open interior space for people to gather and pray, and the way in and out of cathedrals.  Historically, in Rome and Jerusalem in the early centuries of Christianity, religious people gathered in communities called cloisters and from that prayerful springboard engaged in ministry in their cities.

The cloisters are subdivided into smaller groups called cells. If you are interested in joining any of them, please contact the church office or any member of a cloister.
