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 sanctuary’s carved woodwork and pews are Appalachian oak. Both a state and national historical landmark, the structure boasts massive bronze doors, imported from Rome, and an altar carved from Italian Pietra Santa marble. The five ambulatory chapels arching the main sanctuary are designed to reflect the ethnic groups which made up the Roman Catholic Church in New Jersey at the time of the construction of the Cathedral: the Irish Chapel honoring St. Patrick, the Italian Chapel honoring St. Lucy Filippini; the German Chapel honoring St. Boniface; the Slovak-Magyar Chapel honoring St. Stanislaus; and the Chapel of St. Anne, which honors saints of Hispanic, African and Asian heritage. Behind the altar is the most impressive chapel of all. The Lady Chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of Grace, has an altar crafted from Cararra marble and three brilliant chandeliers of hand-cut crystal. A little-known fact about Sacred Heart Cathedral Basilica is that five of the former bishops of Newark are buried in its crypt. The thirty-four foot rose window, in the gallery over the main entrance, is the second largest such window in the Western Hemisphere. The granite exterior was lighted on Christmas Eve in 1986, making the Cathedral visible on the night horizon. With its 232-foot twin towers, taller than Notre Dame in Paris, and its great copper spire, soaring 260 feet sky-ward, the Cathedral Basilica represents a beacon of hope to all who look upon it. Pope John Paul II visited the Cathedral on October 4, 1995 and presided at Evening Prayer. He is the first Pope to visit New Jersey and his presence in this church was a tribute to all who sacrificed to make its completion a reality. It was during his visit that the Holy Father designated the Cathedral a Minor Basilica. On October 4, 2014, Miriam Theresa Demjanovich, a Sister of Charity of Saint Elizabeth of His Holiness Convent Station, was beatified in the Cathedral Basilica. Cardinal Angelo Amato, SDV, representing the Holy Father, Pope Francis, presided. This was the first beatification to take place in Pope Francis the United States of America.
