Welcome!


Thank you for visiting the Holy Name Cathedral website.


I hope you will find information, answers, inspiration, history, hope, and a reason to visit Chicago’s Holy Name Cathedral in person.  We are a vibrant downtown parish with 4,500 households; many ministries; and a chance to belong to an exciting parish for all Chicagoans from Young Adults to Empty-Nesters.  We also are Chicago’s one and only Cathedral, the Church of our bishop, Francis Cardinal George.  As a world-famous Cathedral, we welcome thousands of visitors every week from all over the planet, all over the United States, and all over Chicagoland.  If you live in the area, register and become a parishioner.  If you are visiting, stop by to join us for what we do best – praise God.  Be sure to introduce yourself to me after Mass on State Street at beautiful, majestic, historic Holy Name Cathedral – the place where Chicago goes to pray!

In the Holy Name of Jesus,

Father Dan Mayall
Pastor/Rector
