The history of the Cathedral located in Los Angeles, California, is truly a story of people of vision, courage, dedication, leadership and religious conviction. It is the story of the needs of many Orthodox families who had settled in the greater Los Angeles area since the turn of the twentieth century. It is a story of those who had devoted their lives to the service of our community, of leaders who are no longer with us but who shall always remain dear in our hearts because of their wisdom, love and accomplishments. Their legacy continues today.
St. Nicholas opened its doors 75 years ago. We celebrate the past and look forward to the next 75 years!
We are pleased to announce that His Eminence, Metropolitan Saba, and His Grace, Bishop Anthony, will lead in the climactic conclusion of year-long celebration with a Gala Weekend April 25-26, 2026.
Deadline April 17 for Reservations for the Gala Banquet: Click to buy tickets online NOW.
Click here for more details, and please join us. In particular, we welcome back all those who have been part of the Cathedral but who have moved away. We are inviting all our former clergy and laity to join us for a joyous reunion.
Christ is risen!
المسيح قام
¡Cristo ha resucitado!

With the angels, the shepherds, the wise men and all the saints, let us come to adore Him Christmas Eve. 8:45 a.m. Royal Hours of Christmas 10:30 a.m. Divine Liturgy While we encourage all to come to both the morning and night services (which are not the same), this may be an excellent opportunity for those who cannot drive after dark, for young children and entire families to celebrate the birth of Christ together. 8:00 p.m. Christmas Matins 9:30 p.m. CHRISTMAS DIVINE LITURGY This is the traditional Christmas ‘midnight’ Liturgy, but we’re starting as early as possible, given that it is winter, and will be dark for a while already. A reception will follow to break the Fast. |
