Welcome!

Welcome to the website of the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer. The parish itself was founded in 1884 and is Calgary's oldest Anglican parish. The Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Calgary and is so called because it contains the bishop's official seat, or throne which in Latin is called a 'cathedra'. This throne is the symbol of the bishop's authority as chief pastor and teacher of the diocese. It is also the home to a vibrant, diverse, and growing congregation through whose dedication this Cathedral Church serves as a living reminder of spiritual values in the midst of a busy downtown core. The parish takes to heart our mandate to be 'A home for the Spirit in the heart of the City' through worship, outreach and education.

We hope this website will help you begin to discover both our beautiful and historic building and our people. And more than that, we hope it will inspire you to come and see us in person where a warm welcome awaits.

The Rev'd Leighton Lee
Rector
