St. Paul's Episcopal Church - Cleveland Heights, Ohio

The Feast of the Annunciation
2026-03-25 18:00 - 18:45 (America/New_York) | St. Martin’s Chapel, 2747 Fairmount Blvd, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States
On March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation, join us for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The Feast of the Annunciation commemorates the moment when the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would bear God’s Son. This encounter marks the beginning of the Incarnation—God taking flesh in the world.
Her response to God’s call, “Let it be to me according to your word,” reveals a faith that unites trust and understanding. On this day, the church joins together to gives thanks for Mary’s witness and for the mystery of God’s grace made manifest in her willing heart. In her honor, let us reaffirm the Baptismal Prayer, “Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works.”

Women’s Night Out
2026-03-25 18:00 - 21:00 | St. Martin’s Chapel, 2747 Fairmount Blvd, Cleveland Heights, OH, 44106, United States
You are warmly invited to a special Women’s Night Out—an evening of worship, fellowship, and meaningful connection.
We will begin at 6 p.m. in St. Martin’s Chapel as we celebrate The Feast of the Annunciation, gathering in prayer and reflection on Mary’s faithful and open-hearted “yes.”
Following the service, we will continue the evening at The Fairmount for socializing and fellowship. Over substantial small plates, we’ll enjoy time to reconnect, relax, and deepen friendships (registration is $35, cash bar will be available).
Our fellowship will also include a simple but heartfelt service project: writing notes of comfort and encouragement to women staying in shelters or participating in transition programs throughout our greater community—women who need to be reminded that they are seen, valued, and worthy.
Let’s enjoy a meaningful evening of faith, friendship, and loving service! We hope you will join us.

Family Easter Vigil

We gather in the darkness and slowly welcome the return of light. Through storytelling, candlelight, music, and celebration, families walk the story of God’s love from creation to resurrection. This joyful service marks the turning point from waiting to new life. At St. Paul’s, this service represents the end of the Triduum (the Sacred Three Days) and the beginning of Easter Day. There will be a procession of the Paschal Candle, the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist, joyful singing, and shouts of “Alleluia,” as we discover and welcome the resurrection of Christ.

The Great Vigil of Easter
2026-04-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44115, United States
The liturgy intended as the first (and arguably, the primary) celebration of Easter. It is also known as the Great Vigil. The service begins in darkness, between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter, and consists of four parts:

The Service of Light (kindling of new fire, lighting the Paschal candle, the Exsultet)
The Service of Lessons (readings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with psalms, canticles, and prayers)
Christian Initiation (Holy Baptism) or the Renewal of Baptismal Vows
The Eucharist

Through this liturgy, we recover an ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast. Believers would gather in the hours of darkness ending at dawn on Easter to hear scripture and offer prayer. This night-long service of prayerful watching anticipated the baptisms that would come at first light and the Easter Eucharist.

Children are warmly invited to come forward and sit on the floor so they can see. If you’re not able to stay, you’re welcome to slip out during the brief postlude. But we hope you’ll stay to see how hard our theatrical fourth–sixth graders have been working to learn and share the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit.
