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 Joseph in Hartford, Connecticut. The parish was founded in 1872. The current structure was completed in 1962; it replaced the previous cathedral, which was destroyed by fire on 31 December 1956.
