Cathedral of St John

About this church

The Cathedral of St. John offers four Sunday morning Eucharistic settings at 318 Silver Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque. The 8:00 a.m. Rite I service is spoken and uses traditional language. Messy Church meets downstairs at 9:00 as an interactive Communion service for young children; the cathedral says it will be weekly beginning in September except on Sundays when the Cathedral Cherubs sing. At 9:15, a Rite II family service is sung by choristers, choral scholars, and Schola, while the 11:00 Rite II Eucharist is the most formal and is led by the Cathedral Choir.

This affirming Episcopal cathedral places the Eucharist, preaching, prayer, and English cathedral music at the center of worship. It serves both a congregation and the Diocese of the Rio Grande as the bishop’s seat, hosting diocesan celebrations alongside parish services, concerts, formation, and community events. Families can distinguish the participatory 9:00 experience from the sung 9:15 liturgy, while those seeking quiet or ceremonial worship can choose 8:00 or 11:00. Livestream access and a service guide make it possible to preview the liturgy. The cathedral’s commitments—welcoming all people, serving beyond its walls, deepening faith, and treating everyone with dignity—frame those services as parts of one community.
