Soli Deo Gloria
The Cathedral of St. Jude A living cathedral since MDCCCLXXXVIII
Hilarem datorem diligit Deus

The work of the Cathedral.

Your giving keeps the doors open, the choir singing, the poor fed, and the faith taught.

The Eucharist celebrated at the Cathedral altar

For one hundred and thirty-seven years, the Cathedral has been held up by the gifts of the faithful. The stone of its walls, the silver of its chalices, the bread it places in the hands of the hungry — every ounce has been given by those who came before. The Church has always been, and will always be, a matter of offering.

The Cathedral receives gifts in three ways. Each serves a different purpose; each is sacred in its own right.

The Ordinary

The Annual Pledge

The weekly and monthly offering that pays the staff, heats the church, and feeds the hungry. If you are a regular worshipper at the Cathedral, this is how you join the Cathedral's mission — by pledging, in faith, what you will give this year.

Pledge this Year
For Generations

The Cathedral Endowment

For the Cathedral's witness beyond our own lifetime. Bequests, planned gifts, IRA rollovers, and gifts of stock — held in perpetuity, the interest supporting the Cathedral's work long after we are gone.
