St. Jude the Apostle Cathedral Church

St. Jude the Apostle Cathedral is the Spiritual Home to a vibrant Catholic parish and school community who gather in our church and on our campus to grow in faith, prayer and service together. In addition we are the Mother Church of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, hosting major liturgies and other events for a spiritual community of close to 500,000 Catholics in five counties of West Central Florida (Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus). Founded by the Diocese of St. Augustine in 1950 as a response to rapid growth in Florida, St. Jude was elevated to become the Cathedral Church of the newly established Diocese of St. Petersburg in 1968. The Most Reverend Gregory L. Parkes was installed the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg and Titular Pastor of the Cathedral in 2017. Fr. Joseph Waters has served as Rector of the Cathedral Church since 2009. We sincerely hope you will visit the Cathedral to pray and worship with us soon.
