About the Cathedral Shop

The Cathedral of St. Luke is very pleased to announce the opening of the Cathedral Shop in Portland and is looking forward to serving the needs of Greater Portland and the Diocese of Maine.

The concept of the Cathedral Shop evolved after several years of inspired discussions among parishioners who wished to provide a gift shop that would welcome our visitors and serve the church community. The proceeds of the shop go to support the mission of the Cathedral.

Volunteer sales people are available to assist you on Sunday 11:15am to 12:30pm or by appointment on Tuesday and Friday.

A wide selection of Episcopal/Anglican religious merchandise is available in the Cathedral Shop. We carry crosses, prayer books, and prayer book/hymnals with name imprinting available. In addition we have  jewelry, art, children’s books, christening dresses, books related to spiritual healing and healing gardens.

If you are looking for CD’s featuring sacred, classical and seasonal music, or for cards and notepaper, please remember to visit the Cathedral Shop.

There are also specific gifts related to the Cathedral; castings of architectural carvings for home and garden featuring designs only found at the Cathedral, kneeler kits and needlework supplies, note cards, framed pictures of stained glass, shirts, caps and more.

Make sure to visit us on your next trip to Portland.

The Cathedral Shop Product Development Team meets regularly to discuss inventory.  We welcome your suggestions for items of interest that you would like to see in the Cathedral Shop. Be inspired!  What can we carry that you would normally travel outside of Portland or Maine to buy?

Sacred Space

and History

Welcome to our beautiful and newly renovated sacred space. A major capital campaign allowed us to fully restore our interior and included the restoration of our Skinner organ, a new tile floor, new lighting, a new sound system, acoustic improvements and the restoration of American painter John Lafarge's masterpiece, The American Madonna, which hangs over the altar in Emmanuel Chapel.

St. Luke's was the first Episcopal Church in the United States to be built as a Cathedral. Its cornerstone was laid on August 15, 1867, and St. Luke's began its life of worship on Christmas Day, 1868. Constructed in the English Gothic style with stone quarried from nearby Cape Elizabeth, the Cathedral has a long tradition of worship and hospitality.
