Lasting Connections With a Shared Purpose
The following are ongoing groups based on age and stage, identity and interest. Frequency and content (social, learning, support and service) vary based on the needs of the group.
Children's Ministry
Saint Mark’s Cathedral honors the spiritual lives of children and families, welcoming them to the nave in worship for any and all services. The sound of loud and wiggly kids is holy and a part of our worship.
Youth Ministry
Saint Mark’s youth program provides a nurturing, informed, meaningful and fun path to spiritual adulthood grounded in our Baptismal Covenant and in a community of unconditional love and acceptance. We aim to support our youth on their spiritual journey as a continuous program from 6th through 12th grade.
Young Adults/Young Professionals
If you are in the age range of 22 into the 30’s, we have a group for you. Contact Abby Tillotson for information at abby.as.always@gmail.com.
Men's Ministry
Join us on the second Thursday of each month from 6 – 8 p.m. at Brit's Pub in Minneapolis for prayer, social time and refreshments.
Women's Ministry
Since 1871, the National Episcopal Church Women, ECW, have championed women’s rights and the Christian foundation of God and family.
This ministry gathers routinely to enjoy each other's company.
SAAGES (pre-retired, semi-retired & retired)
A group for those around retirement age is SAAGES: Spiritually Active Adults – Growing, Exploring, and Serving. SAAGES gathers ever month or so, typically on Thursday mornings. Examples of our 2023-24 offerings include a field trip to Minnesota’s First Cathedral in Faribault, a presentation focusing on scams and frauds aimed at older adults, presentations and discussions of both fiction and non-fiction books, Guthrie plays, and more. Come join us! Contact Christine Slater with any questions atSAAGES@ourcathedral.org
LGBTQ+ Ministry
An opportunity for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect. Contact Riley Davis at lgbtq@ourcathedral.org for details.
Knitting Group
Saint Mark’s has had a group of dedicated knitters for many years. We have provided over 500 prayer shawls for parishioners and continue to gather twice a month for fellowship, prayer and, of course, knitting. We welcome new knitters, no matter what your skill level is. We meet on the first and third Tuesday of the month from 10:30 to 12:00 in the library. Please join us! Contact gather@ourcathedral.org with any questions.
