WELCOME

Most Rev. Kevin Vann, Bishop of Orange

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Welcome to our new Christ Cathedral website, redesigned to provide you with up to date information about the cathedral, the campus, facilities, programs and personnel.

The new Christ Cathedral website represents the continued efforts of the Diocese of Orange and its staff to promote the programs, public events, Mass schedules, classes, and many other services we provide to parishioners and our diverse community. The new site also is the ideal place for those wanting more information about Crystal Cathedral’s history and its storied transformation to becoming Christ Cathedral — the new hub of Catholic worship in Orange County.

The Christ Cathedral website is the quickest way to get information about the many ongoing events taking place on Christ Cathedral Campus, like the choir and concert performances provided by the Christ Cathedral Music program, the art and cultural exhibitions, the many guest speakers who visit, and the tours of the campus and its world-renowned architecture.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, interested in hosting a catered event, or confirming weekend Mass times, the new Christ Cathedral website will provide you with the information you need, as well how to contact someone directly for more details.

You can also learn about the history of the campus, its architecture and the architects who designed them, as well as the refurbishment of the Hazel Wright Organ.

The redesign of the Christ Cathedral website required input and feedback from every department at the Diocese of Orange. Everyone involved in the project worked with the same intention — to create an online presence that efficiently addresses the needs of our culturally diverse community.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this vital initiative. Your shared vision and unlimited enthusiasm always inspire. The new Christ Cathedral website will better serve our parishioners, the community, and those interested in knowing more about Catholic worship.

With great thankfulness and true elation, and in praise of the love of God in Christ Jesus, I am …

Sincerely yours in Christ.

Bishop Kevin W. Vann
