The time has once again come for our annual celebration of Black History Month. It seems like only a week ago that I penned an article about our plans for February last year.
Join us this February as we celebrate Black History Month at the cathedral with gratitude, reverence, and joy.

The cathedral will welcome The Rt. Rev. Edward “Ed” Little to St. John's Cathedral this Sunday. The service will include the confirmation of several parishioners. A native of New York City, Bishop Little earned his bachelor’s degree from USC and has deep ties to Southern California, having previously served as vicar and first rector of St. Joseph’s Church in Buena Park. Ordained to the priesthood in 1971, he later served as Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Indiana, where he became widely known for his commitment to congregational growth, community-centered ministry, and the expansion of Spanish-language outreach. Bishop Little is also the author of several books on Christian leadership and discipleship. We look forward to welcoming him as he joins us for this joyful occasion in the life of the Church.
We will celebrate the birth of the Church with fun for all ages including face painting, a bounce house, games, hot dogs, and more. Bring your family, invite your friends, and come enjoy a festive afternoon of fellowship, laughter, and community as we celebrate the joy and gifts of the Holy Spirit together.

Dear Friends In Christ, Last September the Vestry of St. John’s voted to change my title from PIC to PIC under special circumstances (USC), which allows me to be considered for the call of your next dean. As you know, in the Episcopal Church the call process is always mutual. You have been discerning how God may be calling St. John's Cathedral; and I have been discerning how God may be calling me. Bishop Taylor has said that it is time for us to make a decision....

During Holy Week and Easter we remember and reenact the events that lead up to the death and resurrection of Jesus and celebrate the central tenants of our faith. Holy Week culminates on Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

The cathedral joyfully welcomes the Revered Guy Leemhuis to the pulpit this Sunday! Fr. Guy serves as President of the Union of Black Episcopalians H. Belfield Hannibal Chapter and as vicar of St. Luke’s of the Mountains Episcopal Church/ San Lucas de las Montañas. His bracing vision of unity in diversity is a leading light in the national and local church and an inspiration to so many.
In case you ever wondered about how governance decisions are made in an Episcopal church, priests and vestry members begin with the bylaws of incorporation – similar to other nonprofit organizations. Such documents are written by parish leaders following national and diocesan canons, which are also written and passed by lay and clerical representatives. We are always in leadership together!
