  • The Art Within the Walls

    A parish is not only a church or rectory, or a series of devotional exercises, but also a group of artistic creations. It is a growing, changing, ongoing, living part of the community. As such Cathedral Chapel has attempted to keep moving with the times. Since the church was established, members of and pastors who have served the parish, have continued to enrich and beautify it with many artistic symbols and works of art. In this section are the beautiful collections of art you will find inside Cathedral Chapel parish.

    • Perpetual Help

      On the south side of the church one finds a mosaic of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This truly beautiful piece imported from Italy was also a very welcome donation gratefully received from a generous parishioner.

    • Blessed Sacrament Altar

      This is a mosaic depicting the three Divine Virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, and was placed above and still adorns the Blessed Sacrament Altar.

    • The Pipe Organ

      The pipe organ completely renovated in the early years of the church through the generosity of one of the parishioners, was once considered one of the finest in the Archdiocese.

    • Painting of the Risen Christ
      over the main altar 

      The painting occupies the niche behind the altar that was designed and executed by the Piczek sisters, and is done in the style of the triptich altar piece found in the more ancient churches of Europe. It is actually a theological diagram which needs to ber read rather than a  painting to be looked at. Christ is seen as the central figure in his risen, glorified form rising into the arms of the Father with his cross. This brings our the fuller meaning of death, resurrection and ascension - that the sacrifice of Chirst did not end with his death, but was presented to the Father as the eternal sacrifice of the risen Christ. In the painting, the cross appears to be part of Christ's body, and it continues through the body to the earth below. The traitional image of the Holy Spirit (the dove) is seen circling Christ's body to express the fact of his rising to the Father in the Holy Spirit. The Father is depicted as joyfully accepting the Sacrifice of his for all mankind. The figure of God, the Father, is depicted a being the same age as the Son in order to express the eternal and unchangeable nature of God. The side panels of the painitng depict the nine choirs of angels worhipping the Holy Trinity. The lower choirs, expressing greater affinity with man, appear in more human form while each choir become progressively more abstract. All appear as flaming, but not burning, spirits. As to all these images the bright colors and the resulting impression is one of great joy.
