Cathedral Basilica Of The Sacred Heart, Newark, New JerseyThe Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey. It is at 89 Ridge Street in Forest Hill, next to Branch Brook Park. Envisioned as a "fitting monument to the faith," the Cathedral was begun in 1899 and finished in 1954. The original design called for an English-Irish gothic church, but plans were later modified in favor of a French gothic aesthetic, which included elaborate rose windows, sculpture by the doorways, and shorter towers. Sacred Heart is the fifth largest cathedral in the United States. External links Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart
