A Breathtaking ARCHITECTURAL TRIUMPH, INSPIRED BY FAITH

---

Cathedrals do not just “happen.” On the contrary, they are living monuments of Christian belief and practice, testimonials that summon the best in bishops, clergy, architects, engineers, mathematicians, consummate artists, artisans, meticulous laborers and countless contributors, rich and poor alike. Our Hartford Cathedral is itself a testimonial to faith as well as human genius and artistry. The Cathedral is a repository for some of the most outstanding examples of contemporary ecclesiastical art - in stained glass, mosaics, and sculpture, in both metal and stone.

A Cathedral, like the Cathedral of St. Joseph of Hartford, unquestionably gives us joy, every time we participate in Mass there, every time we visit it, every time we pass by it.

-Rev. Msgr. David Q. Liptak
