Be Part of Our Pride Steps Painting Party! A Saint Mark’s tradition, we’ll once again be transforming our Cathedral steps with the brilliant colors of the Progress Pride flag. Our painting crew will gather on Saturday June 13th, starting at 9 a.m. We’ll supply the paint, supplies and snacks. Just bring yourself and be a part of the fun. To join our crew, please RSVP via this form.

Join our Book Discussion! We’re also excited to host a book discussion with Saint Mark’s member and author, Bella Tousignant! We’ll gather on Wednesday June 17 at 6 p.m.. in the Saint Mark's Library to learn about Bella’s wonderful book, The Uninvited Passenger. For more than 60 years, Bella fought to suppress her authentic self, battling shame, fear and the relentless weight of hiding her identity. But the uninvited passenger - her true self - was always there, demanding to be heard. You can buy Bella’s book through our bookstore here.

Join Our Outdoor Hospitality! During Pride Weekend, June 27 - 28, thousands of people from the Twin Cities and beyond will be visiting, passing by, or parking their cars at Saint Mark’s. It’s a great opportunity to provide a welcome, assist with questions, share information about the cathedral, or to simply be present as a listener. Our Outdoor Hospitality team would love your help, and you can choose the date and time that works best for you.  We hope you’ll be a part of this witness of welcome! Please sign up for a time slot here. 

Take Part in the Pride March & Parade! Saint Mark’s and other ECMN parishes across the Twin Cities will be marching together in the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28, at 11 a.m. We’re looking for a big turn-out to show the community the support of the Episcopal Church, so we hope you’ll join us. Email lgbtq@ourcathedral.org to let us know you're in! We'll share more soon about logistics for the day of the march/parade. 

Worship with Us at the Pride Service! Each year on the Sunday of the Twin Cities Pride festival, hundreds gather at Saint Mark’s to celebrate and worship with our friends and neighbors.
