Welcome!

We at St. Mary's Cathedral are a faith community that strives to live the Gospel message, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome – no exceptions.

For the past year, St. Mary’s has been celebrating 150 years as “a house of prayer for all people” in Memphis and West Tennessee. Join the party, because this old church is actually celebrating an exciting future! We invite you to live and serve with us, discovering your new relationship with God as we continue the ministry Jesus began so long ago—to relieve humanity’s suffering and to mend God’s beautiful, but bruised, creation.

You and I are beautiful, unique blessings of God. Each of us has been endowed with spiritual gifts that are essential for the building up of God’s kingdom.

"Church" or "Cathedral"?

St. Mary’s became the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee in 1983. It was the cathedral to the old statewide Diocese of Tennessee for 102 years before that. So this is a regular parish church — complete with active members and lots of stuff happening — led by our dean, Andy Andrews. But as a cathedral, it’s also the “seat” or home-base of the Bishop of West Tennessee, Don Johnson. This congregation literally handed over its keys to an earlier bishop in 1871 when we pledged to support his ministry to all Episcopal parishes and missions in the diocese.
