The Cathedral Restoration is an initial three-year Restoration effort coupled with an ongoing endowment component. It will accomplish several important goals with respect to the current and future mission of the Cathedral. First, funding the project will enable crucial building maintenance, partially completed under Bishop Robert Carlson, to be brought to completion.
 
Beyond making needed repairs, the project will develop the architectural and artistic aspects of the Cathedral to an unprecedented level. When work is completed, we anticipate that the Cathedral will reflect the original architect Emmanuel Masqueray’s concepts to a much greater degree than ever before.
 
Finally, a third goal of the Cathedral Restoration project is to provide endowments that will fund ongoing maintenance for The Cathedral as well as expanded programs for music and liturgy and outreach to the poor.
 
This project will result in a physically sound, inspirationally beautiful building well equipped—and well funded—to advance its mission reflecting the glory of the Father and pointing people toward His Son.
