Dedicate a Chair

At every event and service, there is a seat for everyone at the Cathedral.

This spring, we will receive 2,000 new chairs that we will use when we gather.

We invite our community to name these chairs in honor of all who have brought us to where we are. For each gift of $250, we will engrave a plaque, which will be placed on the back of each chair, beneath a beautiful etching of our historic rose window. You may choose to honor family members, friends, beloved church leaders, organizations, or even pets! The Cathedral is a beloved gathering place for all people and creatures, and we hope that these chairs will reflect that vibrant community.

NOTE: As chairs in the Cathedral are consistently rearranged, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to sit in or visit your chair, but are happy to facilitate a picture of your engraving as possible!

Interested in making a major gift to help underwrite the cost of these chairs, and honor a wider community? Contact Taylor M. Leja at [email protected].
