Parish Facilities
| Cathedral Center The Cathedral Center is used for social gatherings and some meetings. It is located behind the church. The entrance to the Center is from the parking lot. This space was originally our
Blessed Sacrament Chapel. During the 1980s the need arose
for additional space for meetings and gatherings. The
Chapel was then remodeled into the Cathedral Center |
