The attention to craftsmanship and workmanship that this project required exceeds that which is normally available in Western Pennsylvania.

You managed to keep to the original integrity of the architecture by matching materials over one hundred years old and at the same time enhanced the beauty of the structure with updated lighting.

The Cathedral is to be a place of serene beauty in which the individual parts blend together like the movements of a symphony. It is to be a place of warm, welcoming beauty where heaven touches earth and where the beholder is moved to reach up and grasp the hand of God. I believe this restoration accomplishes that.
