About
The Cathedral Domain
Our Philosophy
“A Mountain to Remember"
The Cathedral Domain camp and conference center promotes spiritual renewal, recreation, education, outreach and collaboration in a natural and Christ-centered environment. Like the mountain on which it rests, the Cathedral Domain is ageless and truly is the “the heart of the diocese.”
One trip to the Cathedral Domain and it becomes clear why those who visit the Domain continue to return year after year. The spirit and peace residing in these hills is what makes the Cathedral Domain so special and definitely a “Mountain to Remember.”
