The Chair: A Conversation About Our Cathedral

The Chair: A Conversation About Our Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. Patrick, in typical gothic style, the interior has a real sense of being in a forest. Bundled columns that reach up and open like branches into ribs and clustered bosses on the ceiling that are reminiscent of foliage and the reinstatement of the garden, creating a salvific theme.

Bishop Cote and the Cathedral of Saint Patrick were featured in 'The Chair,' a television series that highlights 85 of America's cathedrals. Each episode captures the unique beauty and characteristics of a diocese.
