Hello! 


Click on the picture to open a
larger view in a new window.

I would like to draw your attention to the sweeping facade of our Cathedral.

Notice how majestic it is in its simplicity of line. A central entrance is flanked by two, rectangular towers, each topped with a crowning symbol:

On the left is Chi-Rho, symbolic of Christ.

On the right is the Metropolitan Cross,
symbolic of the Archdiocese.

Click on these to see them better.

The left tower contains the four bells, which ring out the quarter hour and the Angelus at 12 noon and 6 PM.

Now come with me toward the front entrance.
