The Cathedral offers Choral Vespers once per month in the fall, winter, and spring. Each Vespers service is preceded by a half hour organ recital featuring organists from around the region.
In February, the Cathedral Choir will sing works by John Rutter and the prelude recital will be played by Casey Cantwell, Director of Music at Trinity Episcopal Church, Tulsa.
Following, all are invited to Monsignor Connor Center for a reception.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬?
Vespers, or evening prayer, is a liturgy where the people of God give thanks for the day that is ending and pray for peace during the night that is to come. The choir leads those present in the singing of psalms, canticles, and hymns by candlelight.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭?
The prelude recital and vespers combined will last about one hour.
𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝?
Everyone! Since it is not a Eucharistic liturgy, it is a perfect opportunity to invite a non-Catholic friend to experience music, prayer, and fellowship at the Cathedral.
