Christ Church began first as a parish church in 1795 and became the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut in 1919. Today, we serve a diverse population from the greater Hartford area. We are clear that worship is central to our life at the Cathedral; everything else we do begins and ends there. Come join us as we explore what God in Jesus Christ is doing in and through our lives.

Responding to the Crisis in Haiti

On January 12, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti. The nation's capital Port-au-Prince, located only ten miles from the quake's epicenter, has sustained serious damage. Click here for an interview with Episcopal Bishop Duracin in Hait. Episcopal Relief & Development has disbursed emergency funding for the Diocese of Haiti, to help meet immediate needs such as food, water and shelter. The agency is standing ready to support the Diocese with post-earthquake recovery and rebuilding efforts. To assist those suffering in the wake of this disaster, you can donate at Cathedral services by dropping your check into the offering plate (please write "Haiti" on the memo line). We will send your contribution to Episcopal Relief & Development's Haiti Fund. If you prefer, you may donate online here.
