Saint Patrick's Cathedral, New York<\/div><\/a><\/div>\n

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the biggest cathedral church of North America which has been designed according to the Neo-Gothic style. St. Patrick’s Cathedral in North America is the seat of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.<\/p>\n

The St. Patrick’s Cathedral has been serving the people for the past 150 years and this cathedral was the brainchild of Archbishop John Hughes. Some people regarded the proposal of the construction of the Cathedral as “Hughes’ Folly” as the location of the site was in the vicinity of the wilderness. Nevertheless, the vision of Hughes and his daring efforts with the hope that this will become one of the throbbing centers of the city, made his dream come true.<\/p>\n

The cathedral was designed by James Renwick Jr. in the Gothic Revival style. The cathedral has undergone much renovation and restructuring ever since it has been built. For instance, the stained glass windows in the Lady Chapel were added during 1912-1930 and were made in England.<\/p>\n

The cathedral reiterates the fact that “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. It is not a matter of just one generation. The ongoing process of renovation proves that it is the work of past, present and future generations.<\/p>\n

The music played at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York is planned and there are full-time musicians as well as guest choristers and musicians who are engaged in this work. The cathedral also organizes various concerts and musical programs.<\/p>\n

The cathedral is experiencing an extended restoration that is expected to take three years for the completion. The estimated budget of the restoration is $177 million.<\/p>\n
