Welcome to St. Luke’s Cathedral

We are a community of faith with ancient worship and modern thought, catholic traditions and progressive theology. We proclaim a Biblical perspective for thinking people, a respect for reason, science, and a diversity of perspective. This empowers compassion and care for both the wider community and one another. Our commitment to welcome and inclusion is central to our mission modeled on the Kingdom of God and proclaimed by Jesus Christ. 


A Warm Welcome to Visiting Clergy and Guests


We are deeply grateful to welcome clergy and parishioners from around the Diocese and the Greater Portland area to this evening's service.
