Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral

The Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral is timeless and traditional. The design of the structure was based on the cruciform layout established by Francesco di Giorgio Martini dating back to the 1400’s. This layout provides a seating capacity for up to two thousand and allows for growth in one of the fastest growing dioceses in the country while still giving a sense of intimacy and closeness to the altar. The design includes elements that are meaningful to the faithful including a center dome towering a lofty 140ft/ 42.6m above the sanctuary floor. The design is also environmentally conscious; it includes an abundance of natural light, uses locally sourced materials, reuses stained glass windows from Ascension Church in Philadelphia (and other design elements from churches no longer in use). The Cathedral design also incorporates energy efficient lighting, heating, cooling and electrical systems.
