Celtic Spirituality

​Fourth Saturday of the month @ 5:00 p.m.

 

On the fourth Saturday of each month, time and space is set aside in the Cathedral for Celtic Spirituality night. This is an experience that invites any and all to leave the busyness and clutter of their lives and enter into a beautiful candlelit space to find peace, hope, and healing in the Celtic way.

Upon entering, one is invited to find any space in the Cathedral where they are comfortable to sit and to be. The experience is supported by live Celtic musicians who play reflective and meditative music designed to calm and invite the soul. There is always a short spoken meditation on various themes including hope, wholeness, healing, Love, worry, strength, relationships, peace. An extended period of time is invited for one’s personal reflection. During this time a person might visit “stations” prepared to invite reflection and prayer. One of these stations always is a healing station, where ministers of healing are available to lay hands, anoint with oil, and ask for healing and hope. During this time of reflection, soft meditative music is played for reflection.

The experience always ends with a blessing. A prayer that what one has found holy that night, may be carried out in their hearts into the world. The experience typically lasts around 40 minutes, though when lost in the wonder of the Celtic way, time seems suspended.

A diverse group participates in this experience. Some long time members of the Cathedral community, some who drive distances from other parts, some “church” folk from other places, and some not affiliated with organized church at all. All souls are welcome.
