Welcome to St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral

The heart of our life together is worship. Out of worship flows every other ministry. St. Stephen's offers a number of opportunities for worship on Sundays and during the week worshiping in the Episcopal tradition.

St. Stephen's Episcopal School offers exceptional education to children from preschool through eighth grade. Visit their website: www.ststephensschoolharrisburg.org

The red front doors of the cathedral stand open to welcome all who pass by. We hope you will join us. Our ministry is carried out through worship, educational programs, outreach activities and events to welcome newcomers.

All baptized Christians of any age or church affiliation are welcome to the Holy Eucharist. St. Stephen's music program includes both children and adult choirs.

Other services are held during festival seasons and special occasions. Please refer to the schedule of events for additional information on special programs and events.

Why I am an Episcopalian: Take a moment to watch as our parishioners briefly explain why they are Episcopalians as they invite you to share in our worship. See the video of our Dean, Rev. Churchill Pinder, Christopher Nicholas' video, Kathy Anne's video, Bernadette Kaiser's video or the video of Pat Cameron, the founder of St. Stephen's Episcopal School.
