Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist (Charleston)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston, located in Charleston, South Carolina.
It was built in the early 1800s and was originally named the "Cathedral of St. John and St. Finbar" until it was burnt down by a great fire in the late 1860s. After it was rebuilt it was re-named the "Cathedral of St John the Baptist".
The Cathedral seats 1,000 people and is noted for its stained-glass and large organ. The Diocese is currently raising funds to renovate the Cathedral and to add a spire to it.
