Holy Family Cathedral

The Church of the Holy Family, located in Orange, California, United States, is a parish church in the Diocese of Orange. It served as the cathedral of that diocese, from the diocese's establishment in 1976, until Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, the former Crystal Cathedral, was dedicated on July 17, 2019. Holy Family Parish predates the establishment of the Diocese of Orange.

The first Mass in what is now the Holy Family Cathedral Parish is believed to have been celebrated by a Spanish expeditionary force in 1769. Holy Family Parish was established in 1921, and the first Mass was celebrated on December 18 of the same year. Orange was part of what was then known as the Diocese of Monterey-Los Angeles. The original church received a remodeling in 1930 that gave it a Mission Revival appearance. The site for the present parish buildings was purchased in 1949 and the current church building was completed in April 1958. The church was dedicated in January 1961. The church was selected to be the diocesan cathedral when Orange County was split from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to form the Diocese of Orange in June 1976.
