Cathedral of Saint Augustine, Bridgeport, CT

New England is the home of a number of beautiful cathedrals, the cathedrae of the various Roman Catholic dioceses located in this region.

One of these cathedrals is the Cathedral of Saint Augustine in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The parish was founded in 1842; the cornerstone for the current structure was laid in 1866, and the church was dedicated in 1868.

When the diocese was split off from the Archdiocese of Hartford in 1953, St. Augustine was chosen as the location for the bishop’s cathedra.
