Restoring Our Mother Church

$6,250,000

Since the beginning of its construction in 1926 and serving individuals and families since 1931,

Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral has been the center of Catholic life in Toledo. The Cathedral is central to the liturgical life of the entire diocese, and it should continue to be a place to draw people in through its architecture, aesthetics, and ecclesial beauty. These capital and endowment investments will make certain that our Mother Church can endure for generations to come.
