As the sacred ground where the nation gathers for prayer at pivotal moments in our life together, the Cathedral will be open for prayer and meditation on Election Day as votes are cast, and on the day after as votes are counted.

These opportunities for prayer are part of the Cathedral’s A Better Way initiative.
