The current rector of the cathedral is Rev. Andrew Schoenberger. Services are conducted in both French and English.

On May 9, 2014, John Carlos Quadro, a St. Paul resident, showed up at the Cathedral Rectory and when Father Gilbert Dasna SMMM answered the door, Quadro shot the priest 5 times then dashed into his truck, leaving the priest alone where he succumbed to his injuries.[1]
