HOME 2024
"I love the house where you live, O Lord." ~Psalm 26:8
St. John’s Cathedral is home to a diversity of people. Incredible humans
from all walks of life find themselves welcomed and loved here. We embrace
the homeless, the disenfranchised, as well as people who are incredibly
intelligent and successful. We are committed to being a safe home for the LGBTQ+ community. If we are to thrive and provide this kind of refuge in Jacksonville, we need your generosity.
Please consider increasing your pledge this year by at least 10%.
Join us throughout the pledge campaign season to learn more about our sacred home, St. John's Cathedral. We'd love for everyone to attend a Home Blessing. They will be offered in parishioner's homes in the neighborhoods surrounding St. John's Cathedral and also online for those who cannot make it in person. Home blessings, dates and times are listed below, please sign up for one today. We are also hosting a series of Conversations in Community that explore our Cathedral home and are offering docent and self-guided tours on Sunday mornings following the 10 a.m. service.
Home Blessings:
Home blessings are offered in a parishioner's home and online throughout the campaign. At each home blessing, you may bring something from your home to be blessed by St. John’s clergy (i.e. a cross or other memorabilia) and partake in a simple Eucharist. Each home blessing will last approximately one hour.
