Sacred Heart Cathedral, sometimes referred to as Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh.^[1] As of 2015 the bishop seated at the cathedral is Michael Francis Burbidge.^[2] When the current building was completed in 1924 as a parish church, North Carolina was the only state in the United States of America without its own Catholic diocese. Sacred Heart Cathedral is the smallest Roman Catholic cathedral in the continental United States. The cathedral is located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina on Hillsborough Street.^[3]^[4] The Cathedral also hosts the Cathedral School, formally called the Sacred Heart Cathedral School, a Catholic elementary and middle school.

Cathedral

Sacred Heart Cathedral serves as the Mother Church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh and the throne of the current bishop of Raleigh. The cathedral is named after the Sacred Heart of Jesus and has a statue of Jesus Christ above its entrance. Due to the sanctuary size, eleven masses are necessary per weekend to accommodate all attendees.^[2]

Golden Jubilee

Monsignor Thomas P. Hadden celebrated his fiftieth anniversary of priesthood with a Jubilee Mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday, December 20, 2008. Monsignor Hadden was ordained in Rome in 1958 as a priest of the Diocese of Raleigh upon his graduation from the North American College in Rome. Thirty priests concelebrated the liturgy in the presence of Michael F. Burbidge with Monsignor Gerald L. Lewis as homilist.^[3]

New cathedral

In 2011, Bishop Burbidge announced construction of a new cathedral to replace the existing Sacred Heart Cathedral which cannot accommodate the growing parish and diocese. Fund-raising began in September of that year for the new facility, located on 39 acres where the diocese offices and Cardinal Gibbons High School were located. Groundbreaking for the new Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral took place January 3, 2015, on a $41 million building which will hold 2,000 people and is expected to open in 2017.^[2] The cathedral is designed by O'Brien and Keane of Arlington, Virginia in the Romanesque Revival style. It will have a cruciform floor plan with a dome over the crossing and will contain 42 stained glass windows and Stations of the Cross from closed churches in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The Beyer Studio of Philadelphia will restore the windows before they are installed.^[5]

School

Cathedral School, formally Sacred Heart Cathedral School, a Roman Catholic Pre-K through eighth grade cathedral school, is hosted at Sacred Heart Cathedral. The school was established in 1909 and educates young Catholics and prepares them for High School. Cathedral School feeds into Cardinal Gibbons High School. Cardinal Gibbons High School had originally been at Sacred Heart Cathedral and was called Sacred Heart High School and then Cathedral Latin High School.^[6] In 2007, Cathedral School received a National Blue Ribbon of Excellence Award.^[7] The Cathedral School will move to the new cathedral site when complete.^[2]
