At Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, we gather in Christ's name to give thanks and praise to God and to serve our community.
A unique urban center, we open our doors to feed the hungry, to pray, to be inspired by the arts,, and to welcome all with love. The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania (http://www.diopa.org) created the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral in 1992 as a seat for its bishop and asacred place of gathering for diocesan program and liturgy. The Cathedral offers a full schedule of worship for the community,

Last Sunday, Dean Abigail shared with the congregation the core values and mission statement that were crafted based on your input.
You can read more about these core values–love, community, spirituality, inclusion, and stewardship–by picking up a copy at the back of the church, or visiting the Visioning page on the Cathedral website.
The next step in our Strategic Planning process is to come together for Visioning Day on Saturday, May 30. This will be a highly interactive and energizing day where everyone will have an opportunity to help shape the future of the Cathedral.
Your participation is crucial for creating a framework that reflects our core values, shared goals, and dreams for the future.
