A Service Honoring Matthew Shepard

Join us in-person or online as we commemorate Matthew Shepard’s birthday. In prayer, song, word, we will remember Matthew, reflect on his commitment to a more caring and just world, and resolve to embrace the dignity and equality of all people. The Rev. Spencer W. Brown, Priest Associate, will offer the homily. ASL interpretation is offered for this service.

The livestream will be available below and on our Matthew Shepard Page, where you can learn more, including previous services held at the Cathedral.
