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.

As we round out Black History Month, we will celebrate the contributions of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities, featuring a virtual HBCU choir and readings by the presidents of Howard University and the University of the District of Columbia.
Black History Month 2021: Something to Celebrate
It’s a time and a moment to recall our history, recognize the present contributions and anticipate a future where every life – every child of God — is not only appreciated but celebrated.
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.
Veterans Outreach
Wednesday, November 11 • 7 am eastern
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.
Honor a veteran you know by adding their name to the Roll of Honor, or search the current Roll of Honor.
