RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Catholics in eastern North Carolina are about to celebrate the completion of a big new cathedral that will be the center of the region’s religious life.
A dedication Mass scheduled for Wednesday is expected to draw 2,000 worshipers to the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. The service will be live-streamed on the diocese’s YouTube channel.
Stone masons installed the cornerstone on Friday. Behind the stone, workers installed a time capsule including objects marking the recent life of the diocese of about a quarter-million members.
