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.

It has been with much interest that I have devoted considerable time during recent years in researching the life of Catherine Josephine Seton. Who was Catherine Josephine Seton? She was the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Seton. Elizabeth founded the Sisters of Charity in Emmitsburg, Maryland, in 1809 and, in 1975, became the first native born citizen of the United States to be canonized a saint of the Church. Catherine was also the first New York Sister of Mercy, who at the age of forty-six years entered the Mercy Community several months after the 1846 foundation had been made in New York City from Dublin, Ireland; and, she continued as Sister Catherine or Mother Catherine in the Mercy Community until her death in 1891.
