Situated on the highest peak in Newark next to Branch Brook Park, the French Gothic structure covers 40,000 square feet, an area equal to that of London’s Westminster Abbey. It is larger than the renowned St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Sacred Heart Cathedral was built over a 55-year period, beginning at the turn of the century. The land was purchased in 1871 for $60,000. The cost of the edifice, initially estimated at $1 million, rose to $18 million. Most of the funds were raised through large donations and church collections throughout the Archdiocese. It was dedicated on October 19, 1954. The Cathedral Basilica features hand-carved decorations of wood, stone, and marble imported from countries around the world. Its stained-glass windows, crafted in Munich, Germany, are considered among the finest in the world. The fourteen bells in the west tower were cast in Padua, Italy, and tested by Vatican bell experts.

The oc­ casion calls to mind not only the local history which led to the creation of the new ecclesias­ tical jurisdiction but also its ties with the ancient traditions of the Church. Since the time of the Roman empire the Catholic Church has traditionally adjusted its jurisdictional boundaries to those of the civil authority. The very term "diocese" is adapted from the divisions of the 4th cen­ tury Roman empire upon which the ecclesiastical boundaries were modelled. The establishment of the first American diocese at Baltimore was occasioned by the political separation of the United States from England in the American Revolution. Bishop John Carroll's Thomas J.
