Envisioned as a "fitting monument to the faith," the Cathedral was begun in 1899 and finished in 1954. The original design called for an English-Irish gothic church, but plans were later modified in favor of a French gothic aesthetic, which included elaborate rose windows, sculpture by the doorways, and shorter towers. The fifth largest cathedral in the United States, Sacred Heart was eleveted to Basilica status by Pope John Paul II . EXTERNAL LINKS |
