    About the Cathedral

    The present cathedral rose between 1963 and 1966, designed by Julian K. Jastremsky in the Byzantine Revival style and modeled on Hagia Sophia. Its central dome spans 100 feet across, sheathed in 22-karat gold Venetian glass tiles, with a mosaic of the Pantocrator within.

    A stone from the tomb of St. Peter, given by Pope Paul VI, rests in its cornerstone. Pope John Paul II visited the cathedral on October 4, 1979. It is the mother church of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, led by Metropolitan-Archbishop Borys Gudziak.
