The worshipping community of St. Paul’s will have full access and flexibility in the setup of our sacred space, enhancing individual and group participation in all aspects of worship

Local artists and creatives will also find space to elevate their visions. In our renovated 8,000-sq-foot Cathedral space, rehearsals, performances and gallery space can and will be accommodated, ready to host a wide variety of events.

Our building will be better able to welcome those looking to view St. Paul’s rich military tradition. Nearly one dozen colours of Canadian regiments are laid up or housed at St. Paul’s.

As a cornerstone of London’s downtown, St. Paul’s is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in revitalizing our city’s core, building new partnerships and collaborations and engaging more people in the life of our worship community and our city.
​Why is St. Paul's Cathedral embarking on the Dreams & Visions campaign now?
We believe we are at a critical inflection point in the history of our community. Every generation is called to discern what discipleship looks like in our times. We believe this is our moment to show that following in the Way of Jesus requires an open heart and open doors. God is at work in our neighbourhood and our city. We believe these changes will better allow us to join God in that work.
