Our Cathedral

Since 1904, St. Paul's Cathedral has served the community from the same location at the northeast corner of N.W. 7th and Robinson. Providing a spiritual heart to the Cathedral's neighbors in Downtown, Bricktown, Midtown and Uptown Oklahoma City, St. Paul's also serves as the Cathedral for the Diocese of Oklahoma.

There are 1100 parishioners at St. Paul's, some of whom drive long distances to attend one of three Sunday morning services. The Cathedral also offers a 12:10 p.m. Holy Communion service on Thursdays attracting Episcopalians who work in the Downtown area.

A History of the Cathedral

The Cathedral’s history is one of enjoying booms, surviving busts and God always being faithful.

Since 1982 the Cathedral has expanded its campus, increased regular Sunday attendance and established an endowment. Known as the Guild of St. George, the Cathedral also houses a food pantry and emergency assistance service that serves 4,500 needy families a year. The Cathedral provides space for 12-Step meetings, community music programs and serves as a location for the opening ceremony of the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. parade.

The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, had a profound effect on the Cathedral as it was heavily damaged that day. Despite the tragedy of lost lives and property, St. Paul's stepped up immediately and became a triage site for rescue workers as well as providing a spiritual sanctuary for all seeking comfort and peace during that dark time.

In the early 1990's, the Cathedral purchased an adjacent junkyard and converted the lot into a child-friendly garden. As a reminder of the effect of the bombing on our community, the children of St. Paul's planted a Weeping Willow in the Cathedral Garden in memory of the children who were killed in the Murrah Building.

Eventually, St. Paul's purchased an old auto body shop adjacent to the Garden and built the Dean Back Administrative Building, which is also the home of the Guild of St. George. A million dollar Garden renovation and Columbarium construction project was completed in the spring of 2011.

As it is, St. Paul’s abides as a sacred place on Earth and as a gateway to Heaven.


East Garden

As part of the restoration of St. Paul's in the aftermath of the bombing of the Murrah Building in April, 1995, the Cathedral was able to acquire additional property to the east of Dean Willey Hall. The Cathedral saw fit to create a outdoor still point fit for meditation, and absorbing joy in the quiet beauty of the natural world. The cloister holds within it a garden, a Labyrint…
