Honoring Bishop Chet Talton

Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 3:00pm


A service in celebration and thanksgiving for the ministry of retired Bishop Chester Talton will be held on Saturday, May 18, 3 - 6 p.m. at the cathedral.


The Program Group on Black Ministries and the H. Belfield Hannibal Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians invite the diocesan community to this event, which will begin with Eucharist and end with a seafood gumbo and peach cobbler dinner reception.


Talton, 82, was consecrated sixth bishop suffragan of the Diocese of Los Angeles in 1991 and served until his retirement in 2010. Prior to his election he was rector of St. Philip's Church in New York City's Harlem, and served churches in St. Paul, MN; Chicago; and California. He was the first person of African descent to be elected a bishop in the diocese. 


Clergy are invited to wear green vestments; all attendees are encouraged to wear Afrocentric attire.

Looking to get involved....?


Members of the cathedral are getting together to form a Parish Life team. The group will work alongside clergy to coordinate cathedral-wide activities; it's a fun way to get directly involved in the life and ministry of the parish. Contact The Rev. Mel Soriano to learn more.

Food Pantry is looking to expand...


Our coordinators are looking to expand the possibilities of our food pantry distribution. If more volunteers can be sourced there is the possibility of expanding our outreach to more than once a month.
