CWN Editor's Note: The Vatican has approved the Diocese of Madison’s petition to raise St. Bernard Parish, built in 1927, to cathedral status.
The former diocesan cathedral, St. Raphael’s, suffered extensive damage in a 2005 fire. Bishop Donald Hying chose to designate an existing parish as the new cathedral, rather than to rebuild the cathedral on the current site.
