St. Augustine Cathedral (Bridgeport)

St. Augustine Cathedral (Bridgeport)

St. Augustine Cathedral was built in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1869 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of the city.

It went through a major 4 million dollar renovation in 2003 and the capacity was expanded to 750 people. The project was finished in 2004 with new marble tiles, repainted ceilings, a new altar, and other projects. Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, celebrated the Mass. Bishop William E. Lori and 12 other bishops from around New England and New York concelebrated, in the presence of Cardinal Edward Egan of New York, and Cardinal William Keeler of Baltimore. Archbishop Daniel A. Cronin of Hartford delivered the homily.
