About the Cathedral The church was raised to the status of a cathedral in 1974 when the Diocese of Arlington was erected. The cathedral is the “Mother Church of the diocese” hosting many diocesan activities and Masses drawing people from around Northern Virginia. Bishop Paul Loverde celebrates Sunday Mass frequently at the Cathedral. All are welcome to our church. Thereis a free-standing bell tower, which was completed in 1982, on the South Lawnof the Cathedral, housing six bells cast in France by the Paccard Foundry. The Cathedral of St.Thomas More features one of the largest pipe organs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. |
