Welcome to Saint George's Cathedral
Be here. Be you. Belong.
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!

The Feast of the Presentation: Candlemas | February 1, 8am & 10:30am
Our Sunday services observe the Feast of the Presentation, commonly referred to as 'Candlemas', the day on which Joseph and Mary present Jesus in the Temple forty days after Christmas. Music includes When to the temple Mary went by Johannes Eccard, Herbert Sumsion's Communion Service in F, and the beloved Candlemas hymn, The candles were lighted on candlemas day. The Very Rev. Douglas Michael preaches and Captain the Rev. Catherine Askew presides. Sunday School is offered for children and youth.
Choral Evensong | February 4, 7pm
The Cathedral Choir offers a service of Choral Evensong, their first in the new year. This service of psalms, canticles, and prayers provides the perfect opportunity to pause for prayer at the midpoint of the week. Available in-person and online.

"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."
Eric Friesen
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.
