Mission Statement of the Laymen's Club
of the Cathedral Church
of Saint John the Divine in New York City
The Laymen's Club of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City, composed of lay supporters and volunteers was founded in 1908. Since 1975, the Club has inducted both women and men as members.
Its purpose is fourfold:

- To foster a spiritual fellowship among lay women and men who volunteer at the Cathedral or are otherwise dedicated to advancing the Cathedral's mission
- To interpret, celebrate, and support Cathedral arts, architecture, history, and outreach
- To continue working toward the completion of the Cathedral's Pilgrims' Pavement and keep faith in the vision of a completed Cathedral
