The Cathedral Parish is the Catholic community in downtown Madison. St. Raphael Cathedral burnt down in 2005. Since then, three historic churches around the Capitol Square in downtown Madison St. Raphael, Holy Redeemer and St. Patrick were formally merged into the Cathedral Parish community. We currently use both of our existing churches Holy Redeemer and St. Patrick with the parish offices at St. Patrick and the parish rectory at Holy Redeemer. A new cathedral will be built on the site of St. Raphael; in the meantime an outdoor Way of the Cross maintains the sacred character of that site.
