Christian formation is based on the ancient ministry of the Church to catechize, or instruct, its members. For adults at the Cathedral, formation happens on Sunday mornings, between services, in the Great Hall at 10:25am, called “Formation Hour.” Formation Hour typically includes a rich teaching from Dean Rob Price, and occasionally includes concurrent classes like: Confirmation Preparation, Intro to the Cathedral, Baptism Preparation, etc.

Untold Stories
Taught by Fr. Rob
Join Fr. Rob to explore the parts of Scripture you won’t hear on Sundays. Though we read most of the Bible throughout the church calendar, some passages and stories don’t make it in, usually because they are difficult to understand and, at times, seem offensive. Fr. Rob sheds light on these difficult stories so that we can receive their inspired truth.
