After nearly 20 years without a cathedral, the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin, announced on Wednesday that the Holy See approved one of its parishes to become a new cathedral site.

Bishop Donald J. Hying selected a local parish, St. Bernard, to be the future cathedral parish of the Diocese of Madison.

“I would say throughout the diocese, I think there is a lot of happiness, a lot of excitement, especially knowing that our previous cathedral we lost to arson back in 2005,” Father Michael Radowicz, St. Bernard’s pastor, told CNA on Wednesday.

“So we really haven’t had a diocesan home in these 18 years,” he continued. “So this is a big step forward for the diocese and certainly is an honor for the parish to be named the cathedral.”
