Madeleine Arts and Humanities Festival
The annual Festival takes place the five Sunday evenings following Easter Sunday. The artists and performers are chosen from talent related to Utah and the West. The Festival committee works on finding the performers and assisting with the performances in the spring.
Pastoral Council
The pastoral council is made up of about 25 members who meet regularly as a group to help form the vision of our pastoral plan.
The Pastoral Council is a group of trusted lay-advisors who act as a sounding board and boots-on-the-ground support of the pastor's efforts to serve the Cathedral.
We do this by:
1. Staying up to date on cathedral happenings by attending regular Council Update Meetings and consuming parish communications (Flocknote, website, bulletins, etc.)
2. Informing the pastor or appropriate staff of needs/issues as they arise; i.e. facilities, parishioner wellbeing, ways to progress the pastoral plan, etc.
3. Acting as knowledgeable representatives of the Cathedral at public functions, welcoming parishioners/visitors, answering questions, promoting events, and gaining insight that may inform #2
4. Other tasks/responsibilities as requested by the pastor.

Respect for Life Ministry
The Cathedral Respect for Life Ministry serves the mission of Saint John Paul II to replace the Culture of death with the Culture of Life and Love. In accordance with the USCCB and our own Bishop Solis, our ministry focuses on pastoral care for women, prayer and worship, education, and public policy. We affirm the value of every human life, from the moment of conception to the end of life. We support mothers in need through the Cathedral Walking with Moms in Need and also in partnership with the Pregnancy Resource Center. We reach out to those in need of healing from abortion, and promote dignity of life for our elderly and disabled.

Young Adult
The Cathedral of the Madeleine Young Adult Ministry invites young adults to grow in faith, build authentic community, and live the Gospel. Our mission is to engage, form, and evangelize—helping young adults encounter Christ and share his love in everyday life.
We gather after the Sunday 6 PM Mass for fellowship and conversation. Throughout the year, we offer retreats, faith formation, Bible studies, Eucharistic adoration, service and volunteer opportunities, and social events that foster real community rooted in Christ.
Inspired by Mary Magdalene’s proclamation, “I have seen the Lord,” we seek to become joyful witnesses of Christ in our Church and our city.
