Repurposing the Past
In the interest of good stewardship, Bishop Hying determined it was better to repurpose an existing church as the cathedral, rather than building a brand new one. The funding for the cathedral renovation project is coming from fundraising efforts in the diocese separate from the Annual Catholic Appeal. Outreach has begun to individuals who have expressed an interest in a new cathedral and will eventually expand later this year to allow everyone interested in the project the opportunity to support it.
