This Cathedral follows the call of the prophet Micah: Do justice; Love mercy; Walk humbly with God. With your help, we can change the world for good and serve those most in need.
Local Outreach
Cathedral Close Cares is a partnership among the seven neighboring institutions—Washington National Cathedral, St. Albans School, National Cathedral School, Beauvoir, the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation and St. Alban’s Parish—to foster discussion and promote action concerning service, justice and unity.
During these times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to support our neighbors. The Cathedral partners with organizations throughout the DC metropolitan area, and has gathered resources on how to help.
Washington National Cathedral Sanctuary Ministry provides support and solidarity for our immigrant brothers and sisters who are being wrongfully profiled, and who risk detention, deportation, and family separation.
Outreach & Social Justice Ministries
The Cathedral’s Outreach & Social Justice Ministries make a difference through prayer, faith and unity. Read more about our work during the past year.

Join us as we honor all those who have taken the oath of service and those who care for them. Bishop Carl W. Wright, Bishop for Armed Forces and Federal Ministries and Air Force Chief of Chaplains Steven A. Schaick lead this special morning prayer service from War Memorial Chapel.
In a tradition of Cathedrals around the world, Washington National Cathedral remembers the fallen and MIA, and honors those who are serving and have served to protect our country.
