One hallmark of our worship is the English Cathedral tradition. At the heart of our liturgy is the Eucharist. We gather as God’s people for reconciliation and renewal. Because we value preaching, Sunday worship and some Choral Evensong services include a sermon. We also encourage congregants to actively participate in liturgical ministries.

Welcome to the Cathedral of St. John!

We serve downtown Albuquerque, the Diocese of the Rio Grande, the Episcopal Church, and the wider community. We have one Saturday evening bilingual (Spanish/English) service at 6:00pm and three Sunday morning services. We also offer a Service of Choral Evensong once a month on most Fridays of the program year at 6:00pm.

The 8:00am said communion service uses traditional language.

The 9:15am sung service focuses on young people. There can be more interactive components to this liturgy to better engage with our younger members.The Cathedral Choristers & Cathedral Schola lead the music for this liturgy.

The 11:00am sung service is the most liturgically complex and traditional. During the most holy seasons, incense may be used. The Cathedral Choir leads the music for this liturgy.

At every service, there are elements of our worship that date back to the ancient Christian Church plus portions that are more recent. The Episcopal Church as a whole, is a bridge between the Protestant and Roman Catholic approach to God through Sacrament.

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, whether you are single, married, divorced, gay, straight, unhoused, young, old, or anywhere in between...YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
