Holy Name Cathedral

The Cathedral of the Holy Name was built on the site of the Cathedral of St. Mary and the Church of the Holy Name burned in the fire of 1871. The project was designed by architect Patrick Charles Keeley. On November 21, 1875, the construction of the Cathedral was completed and it was consecrated by the bishop. And after 13 years, its reconstruction began. The height of the building is 46 meters, and the capacity is about two thousand people.

The main entrance is decorated with huge bronze doors. The altar is carved of red and black granite, on the supports of which scenes from the Old Testament are depicted. The cathedral houses two organs, one of which is one of the largest organs in the United States, consisting of 5,558 pipes. On the walls are the works of various artists depicting the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. In different places of the Cathedral there are many bronze sculptures of biblical characters.
