ST. PAUL — A black Minnesota man who was fatally shot by a police officer last week is being remembered today at an ecumenical service at a stately Catholic cathedral.

The funeral for 32-year-old Philando Castile is from 4 until 6 p.m. today at the century-old Cathedral of St. Paul. The cathedral’s rector, the Rev. John Ubel, will lead the prayers while Pastor Steve Daniels Sr. of nearby Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church will deliver a eulogy.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis says Castile’s mother, Valerie Castile, requested the cathedral hold her son’s funeral.

Church officials say texts for the liturgy will focus on preserving peace, justice and reconciliation.

Philando Castile was shot several times by a suburban St. Paul officer during a traffic stop July 6. Castile’s girlfriend streamed the shooting’s aftermath live on Facebook.
