Campaign Priorities
National Treasure
Fully restored, equipped and reenergized, this Cathedral building can promote transformative encounters with architecture, artistry and everything that happens here.
A House of Prayer For All People
As this Cathedral begins a second century of ministry, we seek to elevate our music and worship offerings so that we can connect with and sustain the faith of wider audiences in person and online.
Where Sacred Meets Civic
From its unique perspective at the intersection where sacred meets civic, this Cathedral can help heal our nation and our world through conversation, encounter, action and reconciliation.
Campaign Stories
With Joy and Thanksgiving, Welcoming A Cathedral for the Future
Over the Cathedral’s 115th birthday, we announced our $150 million comprehensive campaign. Many thanks to all who joined us in-person and online for a weekend full of celebration and the inauguration of the public phase of A Cathedral for the Future.
On Borrowed Time
After nearly 85 years of expansion, patches and retrofitting, the Cathedral’s massive pipe organ is close to the point of no return. A lead donor has generously seeded the necessary funds to rebuild the instrument, but substantial support is still needed before the project can be undertaken.
The Virginia Mae Center:
A New Cathedral Home
This 30,000-square-foot facility is scheduled to open in 2023 after three years of restoration and new construction. In its new incarnation, the former College of Preachers building will attract pilgrims for intimate programs that offer a residential component, augmented by cutting-edge technology.
