==History==
The congregation was founded in 1834 as St. John's Parish. It is one of the seven original parishes dating to the reception of the Diocese of Florida into the Episcopal General Convention in 1838. According to the cornerstone for the present Cathedral, the first St. Johns Church was built in 1842 and burned in 1862 during the American Civil War. In the early 1870s, Edward T. Potter designed a new St. Johns and initial construction began in 1873. The church was completed and dedicated in 1877. This building burned in the Great Fire of 1901, which destroyed most of Downtown Jacksonville, and the next year a new church was designed by the firm Snelling and Potter. St. John's Cathedral was completed and consecrated in 1906.〔Nemmers, John R.: ("A Guide to the Edward T. Potter Architectural Drawings" ) University of Florida, Smathers Libraries〕
St. John's is the only cathedral in Jacksonville.〔Cushman, Joseph D., Jr., ''A Goodly Heritage: The Episcopal Church in Florida, 1821-1892'', Gainesville: University of Florida Press (1965)〕 Inside the building is cavernous; built in the Gothic Revival architectural style, stained-glass windows line the walls. In 1983, Advent Glass Works restored or repaired all stained glass in the Cathedral, the Cloister and the Cummings Chapel.〔(Advent Glass Works: client project-St. John's Cathedral )〕
