You are invited to participate in the very foundation of your Cathedral by dedicating one or more of the stones that form its floor. A contribution to the Cathedral, in your own name or to honor a friend or loved one, will benefit the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels now and in the future. Here are some ideas for your dedication:

• Birth/Baptism 
• Sacramental Celebration
• Christmas/Easter 
• Memorial to a loved one
• Special Occasion 
• Wedding/Anniversary
• Birthday 
• First Communion/Confirmation

When you dedicate a paving stone, you and those you honor will be recognized in a number of ways:

• You or the person you honor will receive a printed certificate and map with the location of the designated paving stone.
• A card will be sent in your name to the person whose special occasion you are honoring.
• You, and those you remember, will be included in a special annual liturgy.
• Names of those honored are permanently listed in the Archival Register within the Cathedral. A kiosk computer monitor in the northwest wing publicly displays names of honorees and their paving stone locations.

(It is not possible for the paving stone itself to bear inscriptions.)
 

You, and the generations that come after you are the ones who fill the pews, sing the hyms, hear the words of guidance and hope, and praise the Lord. It is people such as you who build the great cathedrals of the past, one stone at a time. This is a rare opportunity to be part of your cathedral, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, once stone at a time.
