Grand Opening

The Bishop of Ontario invites you to a grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Under the Dome Tea Room at St. George's Cathedral on Thursday, April 24 at 10am. Join us as we fling open the doors and celebrate a new space in downtown Kingston for all people seeking to build new connections.  

About the Tea Room

Situated in the downtown core of Kingston, Ontario, we have come to realize that our Cathedral has the ability to fill a gap in supporting our newcomer and aging population. Under the Dome Tea Room seeks to offer an inclusive, accessible, and free space for people to get together and build connections. 

On occasion, there will be special events, including public lectures, and workshops on topics such as health care and technology. It matters not who you are, what your faith background is, or whether you are of any faith! You are welcome in this place. We hope to see you!

 

Hours of Operation: Tuesdays, 10am-12pm

Cost: By donation! This is a gift from us to the Kingston community.

A Cathedral for All

Throughout history, cathedrals have served as more than places of worship; they have been central gathering spaces where communities come together to share, reflect, and celebrate. These awe-inspiring structures, rich in history and spirituality, offer sanctuary not just for prayer but for connection.

In this spirit, the Under the Dome Tea Room invites the community to gather beneath the grand dome of St. George’s Cathedral, where tradition meets hospitality. Whether it's sharing stories over a warm cup of tea or hosting conversations on art, faith, and social justice, the tea room reimagines the cathedral's role as a hub for community life in the downtown core. It's a space where people of all backgrounds can meet, connect, and find inspiration—much like the cathedrals of old that brought cities to life through shared experiences and dialogue. Here, under the dome, we rekindle that legacy of convening.
