CHILDREN AND YOUTH FORMATION

The Cathedral welcomes families of all kinds into our community of faith. We believe that children and youth are a central part of our community life. Children, youth and families are encouraged to participate in a variety of opportunities for worship, education, service and fellowship. 

Sunday Mornings

Nursery Care is available for children through the age of 5. The nursery is located through the door by the pulpit into the classroom hallway and is staff by trained childcare folks with necessary clearances.

Children’s Chapel is offered each Sunday for children in kindergarten through 5th Grade. At the Gospel Reading, children are invited to follow the teacher through the door by the pulpit and into Children’s Chapel. They will return in time for communion. You are free to join at any time.

Erie Episcopal Kids & Youth

Erie Episcopal is pleased to offer new opportunities for our kids (kindergarten – 4th grade) and our youth (5th – 9th grade). Erie Episcopal Kids will give kids and their families a variety of activities to engage the whole family in learning, holiday events and just plain fun. This is the place where parents can mingle, kids can be comfortable in the church environment and community can blossom. Erie Episcopal Youth presents our tweens with a space to gather, ask questions, learn through worship and service and probably have some fun along the way!
