Great cities are often blessed with great cathedrals. Great cathedrals can also help make great cities. While cathedrals traditionally function as spiritual centers, they are also closely intertwined with the urban fabric, often serving as centers of cultural and civic activity. A cathedral is built for the centuries to be a symbol and inspiration to all people within its region.
The Cathedral Center of Christ the Light incorporates that ancient history of cathedrals into its three-fold mission. For the more than 500,000 Catholics in the East Bay, as well as the larger community, the Center serves as the heart and soul for the Diocese's work in liturgy, service and education.

As of January 2011, the Cathedral campaign has raised $120.4 million in gifts and pledges for construction of the Cathedral Center of Christ the Light. Individuals, foundations, corporations, businesses, and organizations throughout the East Bay continue to respond generously to Bishop Salvatore J. Cordileone’s call to contribute.
Without major assistance from two local foundations totaling $67 million, construction of the Cathedral project would not have been possible. The Diocese of Oakland is honored to have received this support.
Donations can be made in many ways, either for yourself or on behalf of a loved one. They can be made by mail, through bank funds or by the donation of stock. If you have questions, please contact the Cathedral Development Office, at 510-271-1928.
