Washington National Cathedral

Washington National Cathedral is a house of prayer for all people, conceived by our founders to serve as a great church for national purposes. The Cathedral holds a unique place at the intersection of sacred and civic life. As the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, we strive to serve God and our neighbors as agents of reconciliation, a trusted voice of moral leadership, and a sacred space where the country gathers during moments of national significance.

We produce a variety of programs relating to topics that are on the minds of religious, spiritual and seeking people today. We also host visitors from around the world seven days a week to revel in the glory of the world's sixth largest Gothic Cathedral.
