Although much older as a parish, St. Paul’s has been a cathedral since 1985, when the new San Diego diocese with its own bishop was created out of the Diocese of Los Angeles. The diocese encompasses San Diego and Imperial counties, part of Riverside County, and Yuma, Arizona.
As San Diego’s cathedral, St. Paul’s is the seat of the diocese’s bishop, the Right Reverend James Mathes. His chair, or cathedra, is placed behind the main Altar, with the diocesan coat of arms displayed on the wall above and behind.
The Diocese of San Diego counts fifty-one congregations with more than 23,000 members.
