The Cathedral's three main roles are:

• We are a large and active parish community – offering a full schedule of daily and weekly services and a rich variety of other programs and activities.
• We are the cathedral church of the Diocese of British Columbia – the focal point for the Anglican Church of Canada on these islands in the Salish Sea.
• We strive to be a Cathedral for the City – making a unique contribution to the cultural, social and spiritual life of everyone who lives in or visits Victoria and the Capital Regional District.

We do all these things through worship and prayer . . . through music and the visual arts . . . through outreach initiatives and engagement in social justice issues . . . through educational programs and community events.  We hope to combine the best of Anglican tradition with the most relevant of contemporary innovation, in a way that lives out the eternal truth of the Gospel for people of all ages.
