Repairing the Body of the Cathedral

The Cathedral of All Saints is suffering from a century of ice and snow, heat, wind and rain. If its needs are great, it is a measure of the building itself. Magnificent in the heart of the city, the Cathedral is 320 feet long, 130 feet wide at the transepts, sheathed in stone five stories high. To prepare the Cathedral for the next century and beyond, engineers have identified three critical areas of repair:

1. The buttresses have developed masonry problems that threaten the building's structural integrity.
   
   
2. The copper roof and its asphalt cover have begun to leak. Rain and snow now threaten the interior.
   
   
3. Weathering and stone movement have caused buckling and separation in the priceless stained glass windows.
   
   

Addressing these needs, the Cathedral will reach out to its neighbors with a ministry for the changing world of the 21st Century.
