Working high up on a scaffold, an artisan meticulously restores the discolored painted mosaic, revealing the vibrant beauty of its original appearance.

Traditional approaches to repair and restoration are used whenever possible, reflecting the Old World methods that built this Cathedral.

The generous support of contributors make it possible to maintain and protect the Cathedral Basilica and the works of art it contains - repairing and restoring our stained glass windows and the hardwood floors; preserving and protecting the frieze, sacred altars and statues, and many other projects. Donations allow us to stay ahead of the aging process so that small projects don't become major undertakings.

To contribute to this important preservation work, please make an online gift or call us at (408) 283-8100, ext. 2208.
