Trinity Cathedral

Trinity Cathedral is a wooden religious structure built from native redwood sourced from the Santa Cruz Mountains in downtown San Jose. The building features traditional architecture with a carefully designed interior that accommodates multiple congregations and worship spaces.

Founded in 1861 and consecrated in 1867, the cathedral marks the oldest Episcopal congregation in San Jose. It remains the longest-continuously-used religious building in Santa Clara County.

The cathedral serves three distinct congregations through services in English and Spanish, including a dedicated chapel at The Villages senior community.

The building is accessible to various visitor types, including those with mobility limitations. Plan your visit for weekdays or Sunday services to experience the full range of activities and programs offered.

The building houses an impressive carillon system with 24 bells, one of only three such installations across the San Francisco Bay Area. This system is played on special occasions and holidays, offering a memorable auditory experience for visitors.
