I'll log this as a note unless the cache owner gives me permission to log it as a find (?). The Cathedral of Christ the Light is under construction near Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. It will be the first Catholic cathedral built anywhere in the area in a very long time. Unfortunately unless they work really, really, really fast it won't be finished before GC.com archives this cache. So I'm submitting construction photos. You can almost imagine the location of the Bishop's Chair...

This is the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Kansas City, Missouri. It is also known as "The Gold Dome" because of it's beautiful golden dome that is promenant in that Kansas City skyline. A historical marker outside of the cathedral says:

REVEREND BERNARD DONNELLY

Father Donnelly came to Jackson county in 1845 to serve zealously for thirty five years as frontier pastor at St. Mary's Church, Independence and Immaculate Conception Church, Kansas City. On this site of the first church property purchsed in Kansas City he replaced the log church with the original Immaculate Conception Church in 1856. He was universally respected as a religious and civic leader and as a friend to all, regardless of creed or color.

Chelmsford Cathedral Essex UK

The first church on the site of the present Cathedral was founded (as was the town of Chelmsford itself) 800 years ago. This church was dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, and was rebuilt in the 15th and early 16th centuries. It became a Cathedral in 1914 when the Diocese of Chelmsford was created to meet the needs of the growing population east of London. In 1954 its dedication was extended to include St Peter and St Cedd.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH, GALVESTON, TXHistories of the Cathedral
FIRST BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE
FIRST BISHOP OF GALVESTON AND ALL OF TEXAS

RT. REV. JEAN MARIE ODIN, C.M.

Jean Marie Odin was born February 25, 1800 in Hauterville, France. As a seminarian he became interested in going to America when his village priest Antoine Blanc, the future bishop of New Orleans, went there as a missionary. Odin arrived in New Orleans in July 1822 and went to St. Mary-of-the-Barrens Seminary in Ferry County, Missouri to complete his priestly studies. There he joined the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) and was ordained May 4, 1823. He was assigned to teach philosophy at the seminary and devoted much of his time to missionary activities. In 1833 he accompanied Bishop Rosati of St. Louis to the Second Council of Baltimore as his theologian and was delegated to carry the Council's decrees to Pope Gregory XVI. On July 13, 1840 Odin stepped foot on Texas soil for the first rime with the responsibility as Vice Prefect of Texas.

On July 16, 1841 Pope Gregory XVI raised the ecclesiastical status of Texas to vicariate apostolic and named Odin vicar apostolic, a responsibility which brought with it ordination to the episcopacy. Because he had been on a missionary journey, Odin only learned of his appointment on February 1, 1842. Odin was ordained a bishop on March 6, 1842 at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans and took on the title Vicar Apostolic of Texas and Titular Bishop of Claudiopolis. Odin chose Galveston as his official residence as it was a port city which would provide access to Europe from which funds and personnel would come in the years ahead. In May 1846 the Sixth Council of Baltimore recommended that Rome elevate Texas to diocesan status.

On March 14, 1847 Odin laid the cornerstone of St. Mary's Church, Galveston which was soon to be a cathedral for on May 4, 1847 Pope Pius IX approved the establishment of the Diocese of Galveston and Odin as its first bishop. On June 20, 1860 Archbishop Blanc of New Orleans died. It was felt that the new archbishop should be of French origin and familiar with the area. Odin fulfilled both these requirements and was appointed archbishop of New Orleans on April 18, 1861. Due to declining health, Odin retired from his episcopal responsibilities in 1869 and returned to France. He died in his native town of Ambierle on May 25, 1870.

This Episcopal Cathedral Church is in Albuquerque, NM, USA. The Cathedral Church of St. John is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, and a branch of the Episcopal Church of the United States. In addition to being a parish church, it is also the home church (cathedral) of the Bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande.

St. John's grew from a mission to a parish church in 1894, when the congregation sited its worship hall at the 4th and Silver location it has occupied ever since. This was the heart of New Town, the bustling new neighborhood that was Albuquerque's response to the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad's decision to build major facilities a mile east of the centuries-old Spanish plaza on the Rio Grande.

The Church of St. John was granted pro cathedral status in 1921 and, by unanimous vote of convocation; St. John's became the Cathedral Church of the Missionary District of New Mexico and Southwest Texas in 1931.

In the early 1930s, the first Cathedral House was constructed. In 1951, the congregation commissioned renowned New Mexico architect John Gaw Meem, designer of the original Cathedral House and many of the most illustrious buildings in the Southwest, to design and oversee the rebuilding of the Church of St. John, both to meet the growing needs of the church and to celebrate its designation as the cathedral for the new Diocese of the Rio Grande.

The Very Reverend Alan G. Dennis was elected the Eleventh Dean of the Cathedral by Cathedral Chapter in June, 2003 and was installed by Bishop Kelshaw in October 2005.

St. Cecilia's Cathedral is in Omaha Nebraska. It is the chair for the Omaha Archdiocese.


Begun in 1905 and consecrated in 1959, historic Saint Cecilia Cathedral is the master work of renowned architect, Thomas Rogers Kimball. Ranked among the ten largest cathedrals in the United at the time of its completion, the structure is two hundred fifty-five feet in length, one hundred fifty-eight feet in width and two hundred twenty-two feet in height. The architectural style of the building is Spanish Renaissance Revival. At the start of the century, the decision to employ this style represented a bold departure from the familiar European Gothic. Thomas Kimball justified his choice because of the very early influence of Spain and Mexico on the region and the fact that it was once part of the missionary area subject to the See of Santiago, Cuba.

Wawel Cathedral, Krakow, Poland

Wow, so many to choose from. In September, I traveled around Eastern Europe, visiting old Cathedrals [^]. I photographed many with my GPSr but couldn't find this Locationless Cache Log until now, due to its unusual name. Thank goodness I found it before the expiration date!

I visited:
Chapel of the Black Madonna in Czestochowa, Poland
Congregation of Sisters of the Divine Mother of Mercy in Lagiewniki and the Basilica in Krakow, Poland
Wawel Cathedral in Krakow, Poland
Cathedral of PJP2's childhood in Wadowice, Poland
Cathedral of the Infant Baby Jesus of Prague in Prague, Czech Republic
Saint Stephens Cathedral in Vienna, Austria
Basilica of Maria Zell, in Maria Zell, Austria
Diocletian's Mausoleum in Split, Croaita
Dubrovnik Cathedral in Dubrovnik, Croatia
St, James Church in Medugorje, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Marija Bastrica in Marija Bastrica, Croatia
St. Steven Basilica in Budapest, Hungary
St. Mathias in Budapest, Hungary to name a few.

(I can't wait for this site at Waymarking.com! )

I chose to include the Wawel Cathedral as I think it most fits this Geocache's guidelines.

The Wawel Cathedral, Poland's national sanctuary with 1000-year-old history, was the coronation site of Polish monarchs. It is arguably the most interesting place in the whole country, with the adjacent Wawel Royal Castle being the close second. Its present 14th-century walls shelter a great variety of top-class objects of art, from Gothic to Renaissance to Baroque to Classicist to Modern. It is also the burial ground of most Polish royalty as well as the greatest national heroes, two poets, four saints and countless Krakow bishops. The center of the nave is occupied by the 1630 mausoleum of St. Stanislav, Poland's saint patron, the 11th-century Krakow bishop murdered by King Boleslav II (1058 - 1079). The martyr's silver coffin (circa 1670) is adorned with 12 relief scenes from his life and posthumous miracles. Marble tombs of four 17th-century Krakow prelates accompany their saint predecessor's chapel-mausoleum. Near the entrance, on the right side of the nave between pillars, there is an excellent 15th-century late-Gothic sarcophagus of King Vladislav II Jagiello (1386 - 1434) of red Hungarian marble. And on the left side it is mirrored by the 1906 good imitation of a Gothic sarcophagus by way of a symbolic tomb of King Vladislav III Warnenczyk (1434 - 1444) whose body wasn't found on the battlefield at Varna. At the end of the north aisle there is the mid-l4th-century sandstone sarcophagus, the cathedral's oldest, of King Vladislav I the Short (1320 - 1333). His son, King Casimir III Great (1333 - 1370), has his tomb on the other side of the High Altar, across the nave, at the end of the south aisle. The late-l4th-century red marble sarcophagus ranks among Europe's best sculptures of the period. In the middle of the south aisle one finds the 1902 sarcophagus of Queen-Saint Jadwiga (1384 - 1399) carved in white Carrara marble with her grave insignia, wooden scepter and orb, displayed near by. Eighteen chapels full of art treasures surround the cathedral. Magnificent white "pearl of the Renaissance" vis-a-vis the tomb of Queen Jadwiga, the Sigismund Chapel, couples the exquisite Baroque of the black marble Vasa Chapel. The Chapel of the Holy Cross (first to the right on entrance) seems most interesting owing to its 1470 Russian murals and the splendid 1492 marble sarcophagus of King Casimir IV Jagiello (1447 - 1492) by Veit Stoss. The chapel also boasts two outstanding late-Gothic triptychs by 15th-century Krakow painters, the imposing 1789 late-Baroque tomb of Bishop Soltyk, and fine stained-glass widows of the turn of the 20th century.

This is the Cathédrale Saint-Hyacinthe-le-Confesseur at Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec ,Canada

While Bishop Prince went to reside in the Seminary, a red brick pro-cathedral is hastily built. It will be opened for services on August 6, 1954. In October of the same year, construction began on the actual bishop's house on the site where stood the old college. In 1860, ar Bishop Prince's funerals, the pro-cathedral shows signs of weakness. But it is only in 1875, that newly appointed Bishop Louis-Zéphirin Moreau seriously considers to replace the building. In the meantime, from 1868 to 1876, St. Matthieu church, in Beloeil, was used as "pro-cathedral in exile". On August 15, 1877, Bishop Moreau approuves architect Adolphe Lévesque's plans for the new cathedral and signs a contract for $50,000. The construction began in 1878. The pure Romanesque styled building was blessed on July 4, 1880 by Bishop Moreau. The stone church is 200 feet (61 m) long by 80 feet (24.4 m) and both square towers are 115 feet (35 m) high.

St. Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh

The current Cardinal is Keith Patrick O'Brien and for more information about the catherdral see the link http://www.stmaryscathedral.co.uk/

The original See of St Andrews was founded before 900; erected into a Metropolitan See by Bull of Sixtus IV on 17th August 1472 and was vacant for 307 years from the execution at Stirling of John Hamilton, eighth Archbishop, on 6th April 1571 until the restoration of the hierarchy in 1878. It is with the ancient primatial See of St Andrews that our present Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh has continuity. However, the story of the Mother Church of the Archdiocese - St Mary's - begins during the days of the Vicars Apostolic prior to the restoration of the hierarchy in 1878. Bishop Hay, Vicar Apostolic for the Lowland District, chose the site of St Mary's in 1801. He had seen his Chapel in Blackfriars' Wynd burnt down by a mob, and hoped that the new site would be a more sheltered spot, protected by the surrounding buildings. But it was Bishop Cameron who actually opened the Chapel of St Mary's - designed by the prominent ecclesiastical architect, James Gillespie Graham - in 1814, with the first Masses being celebrated in August of that year. Under the successors of Bishop Cameron the church was considerably embellished and in 1878 on the restoration of the Scottish hierarchy it became the pro-cathedral of the new Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh. At the request of Archbishop William Smith it was named the Metropolitan Cathedral on 5th July 1886 with all the rights and privileges appertaining to such a Church. It ws also on this date that the decree for the erection of the Cathedral Chapter was promulgated. When St Mary's was built, however, it was merely a rectangular building with a shallow apse masked by a perpendicular Gothic facade, conveying the impression of a nave with flanking aisles, an example of "finest Gothic, with pinnacles according to the antique, which produced a fine efect on those who admire the style adopted." In 1841 Bishop Gillis enlarged the sanctuary and had a new pulpit placed in the Cathedral. In 1866 Bishop Strain, at the time Vicar Apostolic of the Eastern District of Scotland, had a cloister chapel built, where the Lady Aisle now is. It was Canon Donlevy, administrator of the Cathedral at the end of the nineteenth century who endeavoured to give the Cathedral a dignity worthy of its name.

St Mary's Pro-Cathedral in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I was not familiar with the term "Pro-Cathedral" until I stumbled across this church.

Originally built in 1826 for the catholic community in Hamilton who before that time were were visited by missionaries from Kingston, Niagara and Toronto. Among these priests were Fathers Proulx, Cassidy, Forbes, Campion and Cullen. There was no church in Hamilton but mass was celebrated at times in the building which stood on King William street adjacent to the Fire Hall. On special occasions parishioners went for mass to Dundas, where a church had already been erected.

The consecration of the Cathedral took place May 1826, with the Rt. Rev. F. P. McEvay, Bishop of London, as consecrating prelate. At the same time, the present main altar -was consecrated and within it were placed the relics of St. Victor and St. Valerianus.

When the Basilica (Cathedral of Christ the King logged by Algonquin Bound) was opened in 1933 and became the episcopal cathedral church, St. Mary's was henceforth to be known as St. Mary's pro-Cathedral, but tradition dies hard and this beautiful church is still affectionately referred to as "the Cathedral".

Location

1001 Cathedral Rd
Bryn Athyn Borough, Montgomery County, PA

Bryn Athyn was formed from what was then Moreland Township on February 8, 1916. During this time, strong religious beliefs helped to push for the creation of an independent borough. The borough's two square miles include a large amount of open space and woodlands. Three of its largest institutions, the Academy of the New Church, the Bryn Athyn Church School, and the New Church College, occupy more of its real estate than do its residents. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral is a beautiful example of the fine architecture that is found in the borough. Some Bryn Athyn addresses may actually be located in Upper or Lower Moreland Township.
The New Church, or General Church of the New Jerusalem, is a Christian faith dedicated to the worship of the Lord God Jesus Christ as He is revealed in the Old and New Testaments and based on theological revelations that provide the opportunity for greater understanding of the Word of God.

The Bryn Athyn Church is a community of members and supporters of the New Church living in the northeastern suburbs of Philadelphia. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral is the central place of worship for the Bryn Athyn Church and a gathering place for members of the New Church throughout the world.

Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral and Office of the Bishop
Seattle, Washington

Saint Mark's is the Cathedral church of the Diocese of Olympia. The Cathedral is located at 1245 10th Avenue East in Seattle. The Office of the Bishop is located two buildings to the north at 1551 10th Avenue East.

St. Mark's website: http://www.saintmarks.org/
History link website about St. Mark's: http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=3223

The following information about St. Mark's was gathered from several different websites:

"A Capitol Hill landmark for decades, St. Mark's is known as the place to hear Handel's "Messiah" at Christmastime. In addition to being known for its Christmas services, St. Mark's is popular for its Sunday evening Compline services sung by a male choir (and broadcast at 9:30 p.m. on KING-FM 98.1 in Seattle). For others it is a regular place for worship, with ministries ranging from adult and youth education, human sexuality, evangelism, social justice, and a partnership with parishes in Russia.

This massive church, affectionately known as the "Holy Box," dominates the view from the west side of Lake Union with its golden domed roof. The church, dedicated in 1931, was a bit of a disappointment to some as the Great Depression undermined the grand original plans. Only a decade later the bank foreclosed on the church and the United States Army Artillery used it for two years. The congregation regained it and on Palm Sunday of 1947, the paid mortgage was burned before the alter. From the inside, the new rose window casts colors on the floor throughout the day, and the spare lines of its interior can be an overwhelming experience for many."

Here is the Basilique-Cathédrale Saint Michel, Archdiocese of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada

The first church at the site of the present cathedral was completed in 1826 and was dedicated to St. Columba. Six years later, it became a parish church. In 1854, construction of a new church dedicated to St. Michael started. Pope Pius IX created the Diocese of Sherbrooke in 1874 and Bishop Antoine Racine chose St. Michael as his cathedral.

After Sherbrooke became a Metropolitan See in 1951, a new cathedral was completed in 1957. It received the papal honour of Minor Basilica two years afterwards.

Sts. Cyril and Methodius Parish was founded in 1904 by Father Francis Simokik for Slovakian Catholics. For three years Mass for members of this new parish was offered in the basement of St. Mary Church until their own church was completed. A new combination church, school and Sister's convent was dedicated in July 1907. The school outgrew the two rooms it was relegated to in the 1920s. In 1922, a new school building was completed. The present church was built in 1938. In 1969, the parish school was consolidated with St. Benedict and St. Joseph schools to create All Saints School.

Belmont Abbey, in Belmont NC is a former cathedral. Belmont Abbey is a monastery of Benedictine monks founded in 1876. The monks also founded and administer Belmont Abbey College, on the same campus. The church had abbey nullius status until it came under the direction of the diocese of Charlotte in 1976. Abbey nullius status is defined as a territory belonging to no diocese. ie., separatd and distinct by proper boundaries from surrounding dioceses. It is ruled by a prelate, who exercises active jurisdiction over the clergy and people living in his territory. Hwnxw, the abbot's church was a cathedral.
The current abbot is Father Placid Solari. His first parochial assignment in the early 80's was at our church -- St. Michael's in Gastonia NC.

This is Saint Marys Catholic Catherdral in Grand Island Ne. I don't know when it was built. It used to have a elementary school attached (not physically) to it. The school was recently demolished to make way for a new community hall to accomadate it growing membership as this area has seen a huge influx of hispanic people. The sitting Bishop is William J. Dendinger who recently replaced Bishop Mcnamera who passed away within days of stepping down as Bishop.

This is the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension http://www.ascensioncathedral.org/, in Oakland CA; they host a very popular Greek cultural festival every year in May, which I try never to miss. Music, food, views... what more could you ask for? ;)

It's technically part of the Metropolis (archdiocese) of San Francisco, which includes most of the western states! So I hope it's okay to post this, in case somebody's already posted a cathedral in AZ or OR or NV or....

St Paul Oregon became the first location in this region to have a catholic church. A log structure was erected here in 1836 under the direction of Archbishop François Norbert Blanchet. In 1846 an impressive brick structure was erected here and is still in use today. In 1848 the Archdiocese of Oregon City was named and Blanchet moved there only to move the archdiocese again to Portland in 1862 to its current location at the first church in the City of Portland which was dedicated under the title of the Immaculate Conception and logged previously by another cacher. John Vlazny is the current archbishop. François Norbert Blanchet is buried in the nearby pioneer cemetery in St. Paul Oregon
 

21st

We noticed the Bishops chair while attending our grand daughters christening at St Patricks Cathedral in Bunbury in Western Australia. After talking to the priest (after the ceremony), we were told that it is used regularly, but only by the bishop of the diocese. When visiting, even the arch-bishop doesn't get to use it. The coordinates are taken outside of the cathedral

This is St John's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Jalan Bukit Nanas (Nanas Hill St) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It must be pretty unusual to find such a building in an Islamic country. However, Malaysia is known for its tolerance and its multicultural, secular society, so perhaps it is not that unusual here.
