cathedral parish

A cathedral parish is a Christian church community that is centered around a cathedral, which is the principal church of a diocese. The cathedral serves as the bishop’s church and a spiritual hub for the area, often hosting important ceremonies and events. The parish community within the cathedral provides religious services, outreach, and support to its members. Unlike smaller parish churches, cathedral parishes often have a broader role in diocesan activities, serving as a symbol of unity and tradition within the diocese. They are both local places of worship and key institutions within the wider church hierarchy.
