The Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral

Overview

Clancy & Theys Construction Company has managed the construction of the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Cathedral. The 44,000 SF cruciform-shaped cathedral is positioned so that the altar is at the east and the narthex at the west. The transepts spanning north to south create a cross. A copper dome highlights the center or the heart of the building, where the Altar of Sacrifice stands above the tree line as a landmark in the community. The seating capacity is 2,000, with 500 in each transept and 1,000 in the nave. The Diocese has acquired 80-year-old Stations of the Cross and forty historic stained glass windows, which the construction team carefully installed.
