Elegant, candlelit dinner in the Cathedral commemorated the Cathedral’s 100th anniversary and celebrated the Cathedral as a national treasure and symbol of our nation’s religious heritage. First-time-ever, black-tie event was a beautiful and memorable evening, as philanthropic, social, civic, and political leaders embraced a second-century vision of the Cathedral as a church for the nation, a place of reconciliation, and a house of prayer for all people.
