Spaces become sacred because of what happens in them. We feel the echoes of people who have gathered for nearly 100 years in this space for many different reasons. Here, we strengthen and deepen our relationship to the Holy and one another.
Sacred Spaces offers opportunities for people of every faith and no faith to enjoy the beauty of the cathedral through art, music, and story. Read an article about the Sacred Spaces suite of offerings from the Fall 2024 issue of The Rubric.
2026 EVENTS
The Feast of Saint Francis Celebration & Blessing of the Animals
We'll offer a blessing for all of God's creatures out on the labyrinth and front lawn with the Saint Mark's Choir School offering music. A community reception will follow with treats for pets and people.
ONGOING OFFERINGS
LABYRINTH
Walk the outdoor labyrinth on the front lawn (accessible 24 hours a day) or the indoor labyrinth in Compline Corner (whenever the nave is open). Finger labyrinths will also be available, along with a selection of books and materials for all ages about engaging with the labyrinth as a spiritual tool.
GARDENS
Bring your own picnic on the front lawn and enjoy the beautiful ornamental plantings by the Garden Ministry, explore the Saint Mark’s Greenbelt, and visit the Leffler Vegetable Garden (when it is open on Sundays and Wednesdays). Check out the Seed Library in the cathedral nave, where you can take seeds for planting and bring seeds from your own garden for others to use. Engaging with the gardens and gardening serves as an invitation to consider Creation Care as a spiritual practice.
