the cathedral questionSt. Raphael Cathedral tragically burned down in March of 2005 and was not rebuilt. Wisely, Bishop Morlino invested energy and resources into the building of the new St. Paul Church and Student Center at UW-Madison and the establishment of the Priests for our Future endowment fund for the education of our seminarians. Both of these endeavors have borne rich spiritual fruit in the ensuing years. During the interim, we have used large parish churches, such as Saint Maria Goretti Church in Madison, Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Monona, and St. John the Baptist Church in Waunakee for diocesan celebrations.
A diocese, however, should have a cathedral. The word “cathedral” comes from “cathedra,” Latin for “chair,” because the cathedral is the bishop’s church, housing his episcopal chair as a symbol of his authority, leadership, and service as chief shepherd of the diocese and successor of the Apostles. The cathedral is the mother church of the diocese and the appropriate place for the local Church, which is the diocese, to gather with her bishop for the Chrism Mass, ordinations, Holy Week, and other important celebrations.
Regarding the question of the cathedral, we have three options:- Do nothing and continue to utilize parish churches for diocesan celebrations. For the reasons mentioned directly above, this is not really a viable, long-term future practice.
- Rebuild the cathedral on its original site in downtown Madison. This effort would require a very robust capital campaign upwards of $50 million to accomplish. Given our current efforts to utilize more strategically the church buildings we already have, this option would seem both extravagant and difficult to execute.
- Petition the Holy See to name an existing parish church as our new cathedral. St. Raphael Church was an existing parish church in downtown Madison when our diocese was created in 1946 and it was named as the cathedral, so this option has a strong precedent.
In light of these three options and after receiving your feedback in January 2023, Bishop Hying has decided to choose option #3 and will petition the Holy See to name St. Bernard Parish in Madison as the new cathedral.
Architecturally, St. Bernard is worthy of such an identity. It lies within the boundaries of the city of Madison proper, which is required for us by Church law since we are the Diocese of Madison. It would require a relatively modest investment of resources to make it fully functional to serve as a cathedral. Bishop Hying envisions a small capital campaign to raise the needed resources to accomplish this plan, but this will still be the least expensive and best long-term solution.

TLM Locations
In regards to the celebration of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass in the Diocese of Madison, Bishop Hying seeks to implement the directives from the Holy See, outlined in Traditionis Custodes, while also being pastorally sensitive to the spiritual needs of our people who regularly worship at what is commonly called “the Traditional Latin Mass.”
Given that the Holy See’s directives call for the designation of locations for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass within a diocese, but not at the principal church of any parish, our current Into the Deep planning process providentially enables implementation of the Holy See’s directives in conjunction with the diocese’s current parochial restructuring plan, and therefore with greater foresight for the future of the diocese.
Following a period of public feedback in January of 2023, Bishop Hying has decided that the following four sites in our diocese, subject to Holy See approval and effective July 1, 2023, will serve as the churches that will allow the lay faithful to participate in the Extraordinary Form of Mass, located in reasonably geographically-diverse locations, and celebrated in a manner consistent with Traditionis Custodes and its related directives:- St. Mary Church, Fennimore
- St. Patrick Church, Janesville
- St. Mary Church, Pine Bluff
- St. Cecilia Church, Wisconsin Dells
The Extraordinary Form of the Mass will continue in the churches where it is currently celebrated through June 30, 2023.
