history

The history of the Holy Family Cathedral is traced back by its own congregation to 1921. At that time, the Catholics of the city of Orange and its surroundings decided to found their own church due to the increased number of believers. On Palm Sunday 1922, Holy Mass was celebrated for the first time in the new Holy Family Church.

In order to do justice to the continuing increase in the number of believers, construction of today's church began in 1956 next to an existing school. The building was completed in April 1958. On January 8, 1961, the new church was consecrated by Cardinal and Archbishop of Los Angeles , James Francis McIntyre .

In June 1976, the Orange County area was split off from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and made the new Diocese of Orange in California . The Holy Family Church was named the cathedral of the diocese and has been the seat of the Bishop of Orange in California ever since.

In 2017, the renovation work on the Crystal Cathedral , which was acquired by the Diocese of Orange in California, will be completed. The Holy Family Cathedral will hand over its function as episcopal church to this church. The Crystal Cathedral will then be called Christ Cathedral .
