St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral, on Front Street along the Susquehanna, once served as the mother church of the former Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania and the seat of its bishop. Since January 1, 2026 it has been a co-cathedral of the Diocese of the Susquehanna, formed by the union of the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania and the Diocese of Bethlehem. The Cathedral, Cathedral House and Chapter House sit on Front Street in Downtown Harrisburg along the Susquehanna River, with St. Stephen's School just around the corner on Cranberry Street.
The nave you face was constructed in 1826 and can seat about 300 people; the church later became the diocesan cathedral on January 27, 1932. It also stands as a contributing property in the Harrisburg Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. In recent years the community has reported an average Sunday attendance of 126 in 2024, plate and pledge income of $633,633, and 569 members reported in 2023.
Notice Front Street, the Susquehanna River, and the corner where Cranberry Street meets this block.
