Current Offerings

Wednesdays, 5:00 pm, in the Youth Center (the Chapel is currently under renovation). Taking time to be still and breathe in this sacred setting has been a gift to us all. Find out why Richmond Magazine named prayer yoga at St. Paul's "one of 75 things every Richmonder should do."
