St. John's Cathedral — Attraction in Jacksonville

I traveled from GA this past weekend to attend the memorial service of a dear friend. The service was published to be at 2:30 p.m. I was informed as I was on my way to the service, that Dean Kate Morehead had just decided to proceed with the memorial service because the meeting which preceded the service had ended early! They held my friend's memorial service AN HOUR EARLIER than was published!!! Absolutely no consideration for anyone who might've been attending from out of town. Consequently, after traveling from GA to honor my dear friend, I missed his service entirely! Being familiar with Dean Morehead, I was not surprised by her decision to change things last minute with absolutely no forethought, however, to make such a drastic change to a service as significant as someone's memorial is inexcusable. Though I doubt it will ever be mentioned, I hope the Vestry of St. John's is made aware. I was not the only one who missed this service because of this...

My husband and I have been members of the choir at St. John's Cathedral since 1981. My husband and I love the music program there. Both our former choirmaster/organist, John Barry, and our current one, Tim Tuller, are amazing musicians. It has been and is a privilege to work with both of them. We love the Anglican style choral music. I love to play my cello in the services from time to time. Our choir has made two pilgrimages to England, singing services at Ely Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and Canterbury Cathedral. We also went on a pilgrimage trip to Washington DC where we were in residence at the National Cathedral. The congregation at St. John's contains some of the nicest people around and we always welcome newcomers. Hope...

This faith community has changed my life. Everyone is so warm, inviting, and caring. They want you to be there and want to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

As others have said, the attention to detail in the service, from the glorious music to Dean Kate's and Sub-Dean's Mark's insightful and intellectual sermons is also felt in their other ministries such as helping the poor, visiting prisoners, and enhancing their neighborhood through the Cathedral District.

If you are looking for a faith community that will love you no matter who or what you are visit Saint...
