St. Francis Cathedral

The Cathedral Church of St. Francis of Assisi is the seat of the Archdiocese of Coland and home to Archbishop Rolfe Cardinal Xavier.  This structure, which overlooks the river on First Street, replaced a much more provisional structure that was located approximately where the National Defense Office stands today.  However, the the altar from the original church and the cross (which can be seen through the rose window) were retained and reassembled in the apse of this church. 

    In this view one can see the shadow cast by the huge cross adorning St. Francis.
