Under the leadership of Bishop Kevin W. Vann, the OC Diocese works to establish and support dynamic, vibrant parishes and schools welcoming all to live the Gospel with faith, joy, charity and unity. We joyfully welcome you as part of this journey!

Homeless Persons’ Inter-Religious Memorial Service

Each year, hundreds of individuals experiencing homelessness die on the streets of Orange County. On Sunday, December 21, the first day of winter, longest night of the year, and National Day of Remembrance, the Diocese of Orange will be holding an Inter-Religious Procession and Memorial Service in remembrance of the homeless at 6:45pm in the Arboretum at Christ Cathedral. Together with Bishop Kevin Vann and other O.C. religious leaders, we invite you to join us as we honor them and acknowledge their lives as part of the human family. For more information or to volunteer, call (714) 282-3123 or email Pamela Ocampo from the Office of Ecumenism.

Fr. Ian's Homilies: "The Coming Grace of Christmas"

“And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24.27)—and in doing so, Jesus shows us that the scriptures are about Himself. Convicted by this truth, Fr. Ian preaches every weekend the mystery of Christ as revealed in the Sunday readings. It is Jesus who we seek—and in these homilies, Fr. Ian hopes to provide a glimpse of Him. Father Ian is a Roman Catholic Priest serving at Christ Cathedral in the Diocese of Orange in California.

"Men of Faith – Being Forged in Heaven (3-Part Series)"

The host of the Men of Faith podcast, Gil Alderete, serves as the President of Catholic Men’s Fellowship of California. Gil recently sat down with a decorated fellow member of CMF, Manuel Campos, to talk about his intense military background and his walk in faith with Jesus Christ and His Church. There was so much fruit that came from this studio session that they had to stretch the conversation over three 30-minute episodes. This is a raw and real presentation that mirrors the scripture passage from Proverbs 27:17, “As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
