Brother Adam Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 http://www.rcbo.org/cathedral-name.html [img]http://www.rcbo.org/contact_form/CrystalCathedral009.jpg[/img] A few days ago the Diocese of Orange formally acquired the iconic Crystal Cathedral and its campus in Garden Grove. Before the building may be used as a Catholic cathedral several design and other changes must be made. In addition, the Bishop will re-name the site. You can be a part of that process by submitting your suggestion for the cathedral's new name. The deadline for suggestions is February 20, 2012. Following a review of all suggestions, Bishop Brown will determine the cathedral's name and announce it at the appropriate time. Bishop Brown has asked that any suggested name have a "Christological" relevance, that is, the name must refer to the nature and person of Christ or to his activities as illustrated by the gospels. [center]"[i]It is our goal to make the new cathedral a gathering place for Catholics and other people of faith. By asking for naming suggestions we begin the process of connecting this wonderful structure and its future to our faith and the larger community.[/i]" -Bishop Tod D. Brown-[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I submitted a name that I immediately thought of: "Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Jesus" It seems suitable because of all the glass windows which let in light AND because it was a Protestant church and is becoming Catholic!

Luigi Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) St. Mark's - he's the patron saint of glaziers. [url="http://www.catholic-saints.info/patron-saints/saint-mark.htm"]http://www.catholic-.../saint-mark.htm[/url] St. John has lots of cathedrals, St. Matthew has one, I'm not sure about St. Luke. And we already have A Christ the Light, too. But nothing to honor good old St. Mark - what with all that glass, this would be perfect.
