"I AM" Eucharistic Congress 2025

God, present in the crashing waves — this is the gift of the Incarnation. Not distant or abstract, but the Maker of the universe, dwelling among the broken, shining light into darkness. Through His Cross, Resurrection, and Altar, hope is more than a sentiment—it changes how we live.

The light of hope is calling — let it in. Join us for the 2025 “I AM” Eucharistic Conference on October 17-18 at Christ Cathedral!

Jubilee Marriage Mass

On the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, patron saints of married couples, the bishops of California have declared July 26 the Jubilee of Marriage as part of the statewide Radiate Love Initiative.

Visit the St. Callistus Chapel and Crypts

The final phase of Christ Cathedral’s transformation has been completed with the opening of the St. Callistus Chapel and Crypts! The chapel is named in honor of the original St. Callistus parish, which moved to Christ Cathedral when the property was acquired by the diocese.

The Romano-Byzantine-style chapel, located beneath Christ Cathedral, was blessed and dedicated on October 14, the feast day of St. Callistus I. The chapel and crypts is now open to the public. Book a tour at the link below!

Called to Serve: "Serving the Future of the Church One Student at a Time"

Deacon Victor Valenzuela currently serves at St. Joseph Church in Placentia, CA. A married father of two adult children, Deacon Victor is a licensed social worker who is retired after working for 31 years at Kaiser Permanente. In this episode, he visits with Karelyn Roberts, principal of Cristo Rey Orange County High School in Santa Ana.

Fr. Ian's Homilies: "When God Says No"

“And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24.27)—and in doing so, Jesus shows us that the scriptures are about Himself. Convicted by this truth, Fr. Ian preaches every weekend the mystery of Christ as revealed in the Sunday readings. It is Jesus who we seek—and in these homilies, Fr. Ian hopes to provide a glimpse of Him. Father Ian is a Roman Catholic Priest serving at Christ Cathedral in the Diocese of Orange in California.
