Pledge Card Blessing

THIS Sunday, December 14


Please bring your pledge card this Sunday (if you have not already done so) and join the rest of the congregation in our ministry here in Los Angeles for the year 2026. More cards will be available on the welcome table. All of our commitments will be blessed as the cathedral continues to plan its budget for the coming year. Remember that a pledge card is not a contract. Your pledge can be adjusted at any time by calling or emailing the front office.


"Saint Paul invites us to “walk together in love” as followers of Christ. This invitation to walk in love is the theme for our stewardship campaign this year. Please join us in making your pledge of financial support to St. John’s Cathedral as we launch our second century. Walking together invites us to reflect on our relationship with God, our responsibilities to one another, and our use of the gifts entrusted to us. This reflection allows us to understand how we practice stewarding our own offerings to God through St. John’s Cathedral..."[More]
