St. Paul's Cathedral Cold Weather Shelter

St. Paul’s has always been dedicated to the care and support of the unhoused in downtown Oklahoma City. During the late 1980s and 1990s, when many places of worship moved from downtown to the suburbs, we remained steadfast in our commitment to the downtown area. Through ministries like the Guild of St. George and now our Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, we have stood with our unhoused siblings. St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral has specifically provided an emergency cold weather shelter to the Oklahoma City Community since 2022.
