About The Congregation of Saint Saviour
Our Formation
Formed in 1992, the Congregation of Saint Saviour functions as the Episcopal congregation in the Cathedral, the Mother Church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
The Congregation includes people who live in the neighborhood or city, have recently moved here for study or work, commute from nearby towns and states, or who live far away and simply want to have their spiritual roots at the Cathedral.
Our Mission
“To build and nurture an active Christian community; to support the mission of the Cathedral; to offer opportunities for exploration and expressing spirituality; affirming the diversities that exist among us; above all, through worship, service and example, to witness to Christ’s healing and reconciling love to neighbors, pilgrims and visitors.”
Mission Statement Accepted by the Vestry, April 24, 1993
Our Work
Rooted in service, the Congregation of Saint Saviour partners with The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine to support its mission.
Our signature programs include sponsoring weekly coffee hour after Sunday services, the Young Adults of Saint Saviour(YASS), and the annual back-to-school backpack and school supplies drive.
Now managed by St. John the Divine, the Congregation of St. Saviour created Cathedral Community Cares, as well as the annual Crafts Fair.
The nine-member Vestry is the governing body of the The Congregation of St. Saviour, and is responsible for congregational programming.
