Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral! We are a diverse and inclusive community with traditional liturgy, beautiful music, and a passion for social justice.

The Cathedral is also home to a monthly lunch for the downtown itinerant population, an environmental social justice action group, a ministry to formerly incarcerated people, a discussion group for LGBTQ+ Christians, a vibrant music ministry, and numerous opportunities for bible study, prayer, and fellowship.
We hope you’ll join us for worship sometime soon!

Sunday Worship

All are welcome to join us for Sunday worship in-person or livestreamed on YouTube at montrealcathedral.ca/live.

8:00 a.m. Traditional-Language Holy Communion in English

This is a spoken Communion service—without any songs or hymns— using the older prayer book with traditional language modelled after the 1600s. This service is also available by zoom or phone to anyone who is home-bound and cannot join a livestream.

9:00 a.m. Sung Eucharist in French

This is a Eucharist in modern French. An organist plays and we sing hymns every Sunday, but there is no choir at this service.

After the service, join us in the Undercroft (church basement) for coffee hour. Besides that, join us every other week for Pain, partage, prière, an interactive Bible study, also in the Undercroft.

10:30 a.m. Sung Eucharist mostly in English

This is a Eucharist in contemporary language. Most of the service is in English, but some readings will be in French. The bulletin for this service is fully bilingual, so you can fall back on the translations if you get lost during part of the service. This Eucharist features the Cathedral Choir (from September through May). Depending on the Sunday,  you might hear anything from a Latin motet from the 1600s to a mass setting by a contemporary Canadian composer. The congregation also joins in several hymns.

Everyone is welcome to join us for coffee hour featuring fair-trade coffee after the service.

4:00 p.m. Choral Evensong *

Evensong is a traditional, sung prayer service for the evening. Our weekly Evensong features music from the choir and readings from Scripture. Join us to listen and reflect as the choir sings beautiful, prayerful melodies.  This is broadcast on YouTube or on Radio VM.

*Choral Evensong will resume on September 10.

6:00 p.m. St. Martha’s Chapel

Casual, welcoming worship offered by the young adults of the McGill Chaplaincy to all who wish an evening time to pray. Offered the first and third Sundays of each month, beginning September 4th.
