Abstract
Description
Entering the Cathedral from the narthex, or vestibule people pass through this splendidly carved Indiana limestone screen. The Screen contains figures of martyred popes which includes Pope St. Gregory the Great, who developed the great body of liturgical music which we know as "Gregorian Chant."
The Narthex screen symbols of the apostles show the Church universal. Side-aisle portals dedicated to the Child Jesus and to the Assumption of Our Lady feature shields honoring the working men and women of the archdiocese. They are the People of God. Their financial sacrifices made this cathedral project a reality.
