In spite of a large fire that resulted in massive amounts of smoke and water damage to the storied cathedral, Holy Name Cathedral opened its doors this morning for mass. The church used the Club Room, the same room that was recently used when the church was undergoing rehab work. Rev. Matt Compton thankend attendees, calling their presence, "a manifestation of their faith that they weren't deterred."
