Description
Blessed Virgin Mary Chapel
The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is an architectural and artistic masterpiece located in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. The Cathedral was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day, November 29, 1906. The consecration ceremony was a milestone in both Richmond's history and the history of Catholicism in Virginia. The event was reported nationally, and the local newspaper devoted two special sections to the religious, architectural, and civic importance of the Cathedral.
The Cathedral is a Virginia Historic Landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and received the Historic Richmond Foundation's 1992 Award of Achievement for its restoration.
