HARTFORD – In what Archbishop Henry J. Mansell said was "a historic event in the history of the Archdiocese of Hartford," nearly 2,000 laypeople and clergy gathered inside the Cathedral of St. Joseph May 20 for a Mass and reception marking the 50th anniversary of its consecration. Rising from the ashes of the original Gothic brownstone cathedral that was built in 1892 and destroyed by fire in 1956, the sleek limestone cathedral has been the mother church of the archdiocese since it was dedicated on May 23, 1962.
