Cathedral of Saint John Gualbert

The Cathedral of Saint John Gualbert spans 124 feet in length and 66 feet in width, with a 180-foot campanile rising above Clinton Street.

Completed in 1895 at a cost of $75,000, the cathedral became a co-cathedral of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown in November 1957.

The cathedral houses a pipe organ donated by Andrew Carnegie and displays four large bronze doors with scenes from Saint John Gualbert's life.

Masses occur daily with multiple services on weekends, while confessions are held in Saint Anne's Chapel on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The structure contains 590,000 pounds of steel, making it the first church worldwide built with a steel superstructure before its foundation walls.
