Exploring Richmond: The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Katelyn Lewis • Jun 12, 2023

Dominating the corner of Cathedral Place and North Laurel Street, you’ll find the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.

The cathedral is nestled among Richmond’s Monroe Park, the Monroe Park campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, and the residential Fan District, and it was consecrated on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 29, 1906. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond, and it hosts the Catholic Campus Ministry for VCU.


An example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture, the cathedral is constructed of Virginia granite and Indiana limestone, with a copper dome and tile roof. Its front exterior entrance has six Corinthian columns and the cathedral’s motto, from John 14:15: “If Ye Love Me Keep My Commandments.”


An outline of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Richmond lies above the name of the church and to the left of the columns, according to its website. The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is a Virginia Historic Landmark and is on the National Register for Historic Places.
