How is God Calling You?
at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph we are blessed to be a vibrant parish, the Mother Church of the Archdiocese, and the Universal Church in Hartford, with parishioners from across the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America celebrating Mass with us, sharing their languages and customs. As our world begins to return to in person events so does the opportunity to volunteer. Volunteering provides you the opportunity to share your God given gifts and talents. We have several wonderful ways for you to get involved with the parish community; Liturgical Ministries (Altar Servers, Ushers, Greeters, Lectors), Pastoral Ministries (Rosary Prayer Group, Ministry to the Sick, Funeral Ministry) Faith Formation (Religious Education, Bible Study and Prayer, RCIA) and so much more!
Please prayerfully consider how God is calling you to minister here at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph.
For more information on any of our ministry opportunities, please contact Kelsey Meczywor at 860-249-8431, ext. 3316,

Who We Are
Cathedral and Parish
As the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Hartford, this beautiful church is the place where the local Archbishop presides over services attended by Catholics from throughout the Archdiocese. The Cathedral is also a parish in its own right, serving Catholics living in the Asylum Hill section of Hartford and in surrounding areas.
We are blessed with a beautiful environment for worship, one which features a superb four manual Austin pipe organ, exquisite stained glass windows crafted in Paris, and a ceramic tile mural behind the altar that is the largest of its kind in the world. Even more importantly, the Cathedral parish, which includes parishioners born on every continent in the world, is a vital one offering many activities, a place where sacred music and social outreach play significant roles.

A Breathtaking ARCHITECTURAL TRIUMPH, INSPIRED BY FAITH
|
|
|
Cathedrals do not just “happen.” On the contrary, they are living monuments of Christian belief and practice, testimonials that summon the best in bishops, clergy, architects, engineers, mathematicians, consummate artists, artisans, meticulous laborers and countless contributors, rich and poor alike. Our Hartford Cathedral is itself a testimonial to faith as well as human genius and artistry. The Cathedral is a repository for some of the most outstanding examples of contemporary ecclesiastical art - in stained glass, mosaics, and sculpture, in both metal and stone.
A Cathedral, like the Cathedral of St. Joseph of Hartford, unquestionably gives us joy, every time we participate in Mass there, every time we visit it, every time we pass by it. -Rev. Msgr. David Q. Liptak |
