The labyrinth is an ancient, sacred symbol found in many religious traditions throughout the world. Today, modern pilgrims walk the labyrinth as one of many ways to pray and meditate. The winding path into the center and back out again is a metaphor for the journeys of life and faith. Unlike a maze, which has many paths and is a puzzle to solve, the labyrinth is a single path in and a single path out, and is designed to quiet the mind for prayer and meditation. Members and non-members welcome.

The Labyrinth is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 am–7 pm, in the McKelvy Room.

Visitor Sunday
2025-09-14 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | PA
What brings you to church on Sunday? It may be for divine inspiration after a challenging week, to find peace in our sacred space, or to connect with friends, new and old, within our congregation. We hope that all these reasons—and more—pull you in for worship and reflection.
On Sunday, September 14, we will celebrate Visitor Sunday. We encourage you to invite someone—a newcomer to Pittsburgh seeking community, a family member, a friend, or a neighbor, someone who may appreciate experiencing a moment of God’s grace in our Cathedral of Hope. If you attend online, welcome a friend or relative to participate alongside you.
As part of Visitor Sunday, we will have joyful music, and our Membership and Outreach Committee will sponsor a Social Hour after the 11 am service. Visitors are encouraged to stop by our visitor table for a gift bag after either the Journey service or the Sanctuary service. A church tour will be available after the 11 am service as well.
