Newark, New Jersey is home to the renowned Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, which I recently visited. It is known to be the 5th largest cathedral in America. The building process started in 1899 and was completed in 1954. Along with large bronze doors, the church contains stained glass windows. You can see that wood, stone, and marble was also used in the cathedral's construction. Also, there are five past bishops of Newark interred in the crypt of the cathedral. The Cathedral's organ is the biggest church organ in New Jersey, including 9,513 pipes. I was lucky to see this stunning cathedral because I live only twenty minutes away.
