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.

  • After Years of Waiting, Vatican to Release the Report on Former Cardinal Mccarrick
    After years of waiting, Vatican to release the report on former cardinal McCarrick The U.S. bishops’ upcoming fall general assembly will be overshadowed by the presence of a man who won’t be there — former cardinal Theodore McCarrick. On Tuesday, less than a week before the Nov. 16-17 meeting, the Vatican plans to release a long-awaited report that is expected to shed light on McCarrick’s rise to the top levels of the Church hierarchy. The report will detail findings of a Vatican investigation that began more than two years ago in response to disclosures that the then-cardinal was guilty of sex abuse. Removed from the office of cardinal and laicized, he is now 90 and living in seclusion. The report, which is said to be hundreds of pages long, is scheduled for release at 8 a.m. EST. Although the advance agenda for American bishops assembly makes no mention of it — and most bishops presumably will not have seen it at the time of their meeting — it is hard to imagine that its findings will not come up in some form, whether publicly or privately. Unlike most the fall assemblies of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which take place in person in Baltimore, this year’s will be conducted in virtual format because of the coronavirus pandemic. Livestreamed plenary sessions open to media and the public will take place Nov. 16 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, followed by a news conference, and Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 1 p.m.
