Honorary Canons - Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles

From time to time, the Bishop names clergy and laypersons honorary canons of the Diocese of Los Angeles or the Cathedral of St. John in recognition of significant service to the larger Church.

The title “canon” dates from medieval times. It denotes a key advisor to a bishop or a cathedral community.

In the Diocese of Los Angeles, an heirloom walking stick is traditionally passed successively to the clergyperson who ranks as Senior Canon.

The lists below have been migrated from the legacy diocesan site for review and updating.
