Little Flower Festival

In conjunction with the Cathedral Festival of Flowers, the Little Flower Festival is a showing of floral arrangements by liturgical art & environment ministers from our archdiocesan parishes. The showing of these arrangements in the Cathedral Event Center will take place concurrently from October 3rd - 5th with the display of professional arrangements in the Cathedral.

We invite entries from parish floral designers of all skill levels. Although recognition for exceptional designs will be given, the purpose of the Little Flower Festival is to share, learn and celebrate floral design rather than to compete. All are welcome!

Sacred Treasures of the Cathedral

The Cathedral will open its vaults to display rarely seen sacred treasures, some of which have been locked away for 50 or more years. The exhibit will include an intricate Parisian gold chalice from 1883 and a custom-made vestment worn by Pope John Paul II on his Papal visit in 1987.

Cathedral Festival of Flowers

Flowers have been used throughout the decades to decorate and enhance the beauty of this architectural wonder atop Cathedral Hill. Floral designers and arrangers from throughout the Bay Area will come together for this event to create a breathtaking feast of color and scent.

The array of magnificent displays will reflect both the splendor of the great bronzes by Italian sculptors, Enrico Manfrini and Mario Rudelli, and the great soaring nineteen story interior. The floral offerings will add to the peace and simplicity of the entire worship space. A kaleidoscope of colors will meet visitors from the first moment that they enter the great Cathedral doors until they leave.
