Welcome to Your Cathedral
Easter Blessings to you!

Standing in the midst of downtown Los Angeles, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels serves the total Archdiocese of over 5 million Catholics. As the heart of all 287 Parish Churches and communities, it is the place where the Archbishop celebrates the major Liturgies of the year with clergy, religious and laity.

The Cathedral serves as a "model Church for all Parish Churches" in the style and content of its liturgical celebrations. In design, art and furnishings, the Cathedral is rich in cultural diversity in a city in which Sunday Mass is celebrated in 42 different languages. In these first nine years, the Cathedral has welcomed countless pilgrims and visitors. Thank you for being a part of the Cathedral's success story!

"On Heaven and Earth" available for first time in English!
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the man who became Pope Francis, shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, rabbi and biophysicist. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of conversations where both men talked about theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization.
