"The Cathedral has become an international pilgrimage center for church-goer and visitor alike, famed for its replica of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, two labyrinths, varied stained glass windows, Keith Haring AIDS Chapel altarpiece, and medieval and contemporary furnishings, as well as its 44 bell carillon, three organs, and choirs.
It contains one of only seven remaining Episcopal men and boys cathedral choirs, the Grace Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys, along with two other choirs with its corresponding boys K-8 school in the United States, along with Washington National Cathedral. Its director of music and choirmaster is Jeffery Smith.
The Very Reverend Alan Jones retired as Dean on January 31, 2009. He was also the moderator of The Forum at Grace Cathedral." TEXT From Wikipedia: (
