Over 125 years old, The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine is the largest cathedral in the world. It is the “mother church” of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the seat of its Bishop. The church is chartered as a house of prayer for all people and as a unifying center of intellectual light and leadership.
While Cathedrals traditionally do not have their own congregations, St. John the Divine is home to the Congregation of Saint Saviour, which operates independently from the Cathedral. The congregation has approximately 400 members. Information about services and times can be found below. Furthermore, all those who would like to attend worship services and anyone seeking a place for prayer or meditation will be welcomed without charge. For sightseeing, visit the admissions page to learn more.
Like the great Medieval cathedrals and churches of the world, St. John the Divine is unfinished and will continue to be constructed over many centuries. Currently, funding is mostly directed towards maintaining the architectural integrity of the Cathedral and prioritizing serving the community through programming and social initiatives.
Some of St. John’s community initiatives include the soup kitchen (which serves roughly 25,000 meals annually), the distinguished Cathedral School (which prepares young students to be future leaders), Adults and Children in Trust (a renowned preschool, afterschool and summer program), and the outstanding Textile Conservation Lab (which preserves world treasures). The Cathedral also organizes several yearly concerts, exhibitions, performances and civic gatherings to allow for conversation, celebration, reflection and remembrance—such is the joyfully busy life of this beloved and venerated Cathedral.

Multifaith Mondays: Moral Witness for Democracy
Weekly Vigils at Columbus Circle
Mondays 5:30-6:00 pm (Gathering at the USS Marine statue on the SW corner of Central Park)
Multifaith Monday Vigils serve as a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance and moral clarity in a time of deep division and threat to democratic values If we can do nothing else in the end, we can stand and bear witness to the highest ideals to which we have been called and commit to pursue them even when the way is dark and unclear.
As M. Gessen teaches, “Autocratic power requires the degradation of moral authority.” By participating in Multifaith Mondays we are choosing to reinforce and strengthen moral authority in the world. We look forward to being there together as an antidote to isolation and overwhelm.
Sponsors Include:

Multi-omics Boot Camp
Online
May 28-30, 2025 | Livestream, virtual training
The Multi-omics Boot Camp is a three-day intensive boot camp of seminars and hands-on sessions to provide an overview of concepts and methods used to analyze multiple omics data in observational studies. Specific topics will include integrating germline genetic, gene expression, and exposomic data, gene-environment interaction, mediation, and polygenetic risk scores for assessing risk, estimating subgroups, and selecting relevant features.
This three-day intensive workshop will provide an overview of multiple approaches to analyze multiple omic data types measured on the same individuals or via the use of summary statistic data. Instructors have experience in developing and applying methods for omic analysis in genetic and environmental epidemiology and are members of an active program project focused on developing statistical methods for integrated analysis. The workshop will include seminar lectures with hands-on computer lab sessions to put concepts into practice. Since the analysis of multi-omic data is broad in scope, the workshop will survey a range of approaches and highlight the appropriate application and interpretation of each approach for specific research questions. The lab sessions will provide an opportunity to work hands-on with different types of omic data.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- Data reduction, including clustering.
- Regression analysis, including regularized regression, hierarchical models, and partial least squares.
- Interaction analysis and Genome-wide interaction scans (GWIS).
- Mediation analysis.
- Polygenic/polyexposure analysis.
- Integrative analysis using genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics.
Audience and Requirements
Investigators from any institution and from all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. There are three requirements to attend this training:
- Each participant must have an introductory background in statistics and epidemiology.
- Each participant must be familiar with R.
- Each participant is required to have a personal laptop/computer and a free, basic RStudio Cloud account. All lab sessions will be done using RStudio Cloud.
Additional Information

Narrative Acts/Community Action is a new narrative medicine virtual series to engage with our alumni, faculty and the global community as we explore through their work ways the humanities and creative arts are an actionable path toward community-centered change and responding to difficult times. Together we seek to find inspiration in the humanities and creative arts as individual and collective means to help navigate uncertain times through self-reflection and processing, advocacy and visibility, and connection with others.

Dr. Rivera Colón is also Course Director at Columbia University’s Narrative Medicine Certificate of Professional Achievement program where he trains students in qualitative research methods. He was a co-facilitator of the People’s CDC through his work at the University of Orange Free People’s University for Urban Restoration in Orange, New Jersey. His present book project is Love Comes in Knots: Postcards From The Dead. He is an ordained minister in The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM) specifically missioned as a social movement chaplain in Los Angeles. He is volunteer clergy with Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) where he accompanies service economy workers in their struggles for decent compensation and benefits.
