A Year to Celebrate! We kicked off the year with a truly unforgettable evening, marking the remarkable 150-year anniversary of the Cathedral of Idaho.

While every Cathedral is a church, not all churches hold the status of a Cathedral. Our Cathedral serves as the “Mother Church of Idaho,” hosting the bishop's seat, known as the Cathedra. This prestigious designation allows the Cathedral to be the heart of significant liturgical celebrations within the Diocese. Notably, it is here that we celebrate the ordination of priests and deacons and the sacred blessing of oils used in every church throughout the diocese.

Thank you for joining us at the St. John’s “Raise the Roof” Gala. It was a delightful evening dedicated to honoring the Cathedral’s 150th anniversary. The walls of the Cathedral are rich with history, and it was a true privilege to celebrate the vision and commitment of those who built this sacred space, paying tribute to those ordained in the past and those yet to come. We deeply appreciate your generous and faith-driven support, which helps us preserve this rich history for future generations.

As we move forward, we’re excited about hosting more celebrations throughout the year to commemorate this special milestone.
