Washington National Cathedral

Washington National Cathedral Here at the Cathedral, we strive to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God. This is a house of prayer for all people.

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. The Cathedral is built to inspire: a national treasure and Gothic architectural feat standing at the highest point in Washington, DC. Inside, artwork and exhibits tell the American story of faith. Outside, the 59 acres of gardens and grounds provide a beautiful sanctuary. Above all else, the Cathedral is a place for spiritual enrichment. Whether you visit for a tour or tower climb, worship service, concert, pilgrimage, or insightful program—all are welcome. To learn more go to http://www.cathedral.org/visit/

"No matter who you are, no matter what you've done or what you've failed to do, you are never beyond the all-embracing love and mercy of God. Jesus offers you the possibility of a changed life, lived in His presence, saying simply, 'Follow me.' As we freely receive this gift of mercy, so too are we to freely offer it to others."
