Conversion

The Cathedral warmly welcomes individuals to explore the richness of Orthodoxy and to consider its applicability to their own lives. We would recommend the following as you explore our faith and its traditions.

Join us for Our Sunday Liturgy

Our services start at 10am on Sundays and are followed by fellowship in the Church Hall.

Set up a time to speak personally about your journey to faith.

A personal catechism and teaching course will be determined between you and the priest.
