Welcome to Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral
We proclaim by word and example the gospel of Jesus Christ and we reaffirm our baptismal covenant: To respect the dignity of every human being, strive for justice and peace among all people, and seek and serve Christ in all persons. We are concerned about the increase in statements and actions in our nation that target particular groups of people based on their skin color, their religious affiliation, their gender or orientation, their abilities, or their country of birth. These are artificial divisions that we vehemently denounce as discriminatory and disrespectful. ~From our "Statement of Commitment and Action"
We are searching for a New Dean - Read the Profile of our Cathedral Congregation here.

Upcoming Events
Francesco Petrarch, considered the founder of humanism, was the most influential poet of the Italian Renaissance. He wrote of timeless themes in his Triumphs - Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, Eternity - each more powerful than the last. Our musical interpretation, created by Grant Herreid, will run the gamut of 16th century styles: from light-hearted carnival songs of the early Renaissance, through polyphonic madrigals of Cipriano de Rore and Orlando de Lassus, to the beginnings of 17th century monody.
The Right Reverend Daniel G. P. Gutiérrez, XVI Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, will be the Presider and Preacher for the opening Eucharist for the 241st Diocesan Convention. We welcome our sisters and brothers from across the Diocese for this sacred liturgy as we prepare for our annual Diocesan Convention. A reception will follow this evening's Eucharist.
Join us for the beautiful celebration of All Saints' Sunday as the Cathedral community commemorates saints of the church and our loved ones and wraps itself in our prayer shawl of remembrance created by fabric artist Marie Elcin who is a member of the Cathedral congregation.
