Honorary Canons 

From time to time, the bishop names clergy and laypersons honorary canons of the Cathedral Center in recognition of significant service to the larger Church.

 

The title "canon" dates from medieval times to denote 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.
