The Cathedral of Our lady of the Angels is the first Cathedral to be built in the United States in over a quarter of a century, and will be the first Cathedral in the world to be dedicated to a new millennium. The centerpiece of the project is the 63,000-square-foot Cathedral with seating for 3,000 people. A 24,000-square-foot Rectory for the Archbishop, resident clergy, and visitors, and a 46,000-square-foot conference center and offices are being constructed at the eastern end of the site. Other amenities will include a 100,000-square-foot plaza, a Cloister Garden, a 150-foot-tall campanile (bell tower), and a 600-car underground parking garage.
