A Cathedral for the Future
Our goal is as simple as it is audacious: renew the Cathedral to help heal the world. Our five-year, $150 million comprehensive campaign will bolster efforts across core mission areas and all aspects of Cathedral life: new resources will fuel new programs, new outreach and new ministry.

Do Justice. Be Kind. Walk Humbly.
As we head into the November elections, the Cathedral is joining with other churches from around the country in the BE Campaign, a call to action rooted in the prophet Micah’s exhortation to be just, kind and humble.
Each Sunday in October, we’ll focus on a specific theme: Be just (Oct. 2); Be kind (Oct 9); Be humble (Oct. 16); Love your neighbor (Oct. 23); and the intersection of religion and politics (Oct. 30).
