Welcome to the webpage of the
Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Like every Cathedral in the world, St. Paul Cathedral serves a unique population. It is a small to medium size parish and has the needs and wants of every parish community. As Cathedral, the Bishop’s Church, it is everybody’s parish and serves in this function for all major diocesan events from ordinations to the celebration of the diocesan golden wedding anniversary couples. Uniquely, this Cathedral also serves a very large university and medical community since it sits in the middle of three universities, one college and one of the best medical centers in America. Our parish population is relatively small but, especially during the school year, augmented by the university and medical crowd as well as other visitors, we are a large worshipping community. The Eucharist is the heart and soul of this faith community of parishioners, students, friends and visitors.  A good number joins us every day, at the three scheduled Masses, and Sundays at the five masses, to thank the Father through the great thanksgiving prayer celebrating the passion, death and resurrection of the Son.

Unlike most churches, we are open each weekday from 6:00am until 7:30pm so that you may spend time in quiet prayer and adoration of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Saturdays and Sundays we are open until after the evening masses and confessions. For your safety, and the observance of the sacredness of this House of God, both the exterior and interior of the Cathedral are monitored by security cameras. As you visit us on this webpage, remember that you are always welcome to visit us in person. We are St. Paul Cathedral Parish, but we are also proud to be called “everybody’s church”.
