A Place for All God's People
Connecticut's Episcopal Cathedral in Hartford
Christ Church Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Connecticut, the spiritual home of all Episcopalians living in Connecticut, and a house of prayer for all people. It is primarily a “destination church”, with worshipers arriving from cities and towns across greater Hartford and beyond. Going forward, we seek to become “hyper local” as well, serving the needs of the many who have moved into downtown Hartford in recent years.
As a Cathedral, we are committed to engaging the arts, seeking the welfare of the city where we are planted (Jeremiah 29:7), and making the social Gospel a reality by speaking God’s truth to power.
The Cathedral’s congregation is multicultural, multilingual, and broadly diverse. We conduct four worship services a week — in Bushnell Park on Saturday afternoons at 2 PM, and in the Cathedral on Sundays at 8 AM, 10 AM, and 12:30 PM. The 12:30 service is conducted in Spanish.
We are part of the Episcopal Church, a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our worship encompasses both traditional Anglican style and contemporary forms of worship, supported by music teams in both English and Spanish. All God’s people are welcome here!
BISHOP VISITATION
On Sunday, November 8, we will be joined by The Rt. Rev. Laura J. Ahrens, Bishop Suffragan of ECCT. Bishop Ahrens will lead all three services that day.
(Please note that there will be no Stewardship Formation session on November 8.)
DEAN’S SEARCH UPDATE
On October 30, 2026 and November 3, 2026 the Bishop’s Dean Search Advisory Committee met with candidates for worship, dinner, and conversation. Afterwards, the Committee provided extensive feedback to Bishop Mello. On November 12, 2026, he will present his nomination for the 11th Dean of Christ Church Cathedral to the Chapter and call for a vote of ratification.
A FAREWELL FROM ARCHDEACON BONNIE:
Dear Companions in Christ,
I write to you with mixed feelings of joy and sadness. As you may be aware, I have been contemplating moving closer to my daughter and her family in Pennsylvania. This past month I found a home that is perfect for me. I have made an offer, which was accepted, and hope to close on the property on November 17th with plans to move on November 30th.
You are my church family and I will miss you dearly. Since I began serving at our cathedral in 2019 you have embraced me and I have received many blessings through your kindness, hospitality, faithfulness, and love. Most importantly in serving with you, you have shown me what it means to be kind, have mercy and do justice.
Celebrate the gifts you have been given in feeding those who are food insecure, supporting CT State Community College Capital Food Pantry, kidney screenings, advocating for those who have no voice, visiting those who are homebound, faithfully praying for and with those in our community in need of prayer, and taking the time to celebrate one another’s accomplishments while eating cake.
I have praised God, laughed, cried, built relationships with you, and have been supported by you. Please know that while distance will hold me separated from you, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Archdeacon Bonnie
