Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles
St. John’s Cathedral strives to reflect the brilliant light of Christ in the heart of Los Angeles for the Episcopal Diocese and beyond.
St. John’s Cathedral seeks to be a community that offers a new relationship with God given by Christ Jesus, bringing us into the kingdom of God and giving us fullness in life. We are required to love God, to love our neighbors, and to love one another as Christ loved us. St. John’s Cathedral is committed to radical hospitality; to traditional and diverse liturgy and music; and to giving abundantly, to using resources wisely, and to engaging in vibrant ministries. We seek peace, justice and reconciliation.
Worship is the core of our entire life here at St. John’s. In particular the Sunday celebration of the Holy Eucharist, or the mass, is the central act of our community life. All that we do flows from this source.

So no matter who you are, where you have come from, whatever your ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, whether you are rich or poor or middle-class we invite you to be part of our community. We believe our diversity enriches us.
