Corned Beef & Cabbage. Bishop Sheil's Silver Jubilee began last week with Mass. Into the nave of Holy Name Cathedral crowded a congregation of 1,800, and in the sanctuary were 29 bishops. Chicago's archbishop, Samuel Cardinal Stritch, read a message from the Pope: "Ever since you received the fullness of the priesthood you have performed a zealous and fruitful ministry . . . Wishing in some outstanding way to render testimony of our affection toward you, we have decided to name you Assistant at our Pontifical Throne...
...rebuild the old church, yet would hold twice as large a congregation. Architect Gsaenger's proposal: a stark, clean-lined, oblong structure, to hold 1,000 worshipers and cost only 2,500,000 marks (about $595,000). Gsaenger's church has no traditional spire, no cruciform nave. Instead, it will have a flattish, gently undulating roof, and a square, 197-foot tower topped with a slim cross. Inside, Architect Gsaenger plans to erect movable steel and glass partitions, separating the church proper from an adjoining community center seating...
...development of the mine formed most of the church. Over the years, three narrow tunnels. 70 ft. high, were driven parallel to each other for 500 ft. Eight short cross-tunnels of the same height were then driven at right angles to the main shafts. The result: a central nave lined with two rows of eight huge columns, and flanked by an aisle on each side. The vaulted appearance, where the arched tunnels crossed, readily suggested a cathedral to many visitors. The idea took hold, and three years ago the Bank of the Republic, which operates the Zipaquira mines, assigned...
Gonzélez did not try to convert his rough-walled cavern into a conventional church interior. At the inner end of the parallel tunnels, where the final cross.-shaft formed an end wall, he mined out an apse -a rounded cave in line with the nave. He paved the innermost 150 ft. of the nave and aisles, wainscoted the wall and pillars in brick or limestone...
...From the nave, González built steps to the altar, a massive table of bricks. High in the apse, stark against the black salt, he set a 20-ft. cross made of thick, wooden poles. Last week, in preparation for the Christmas service, the miners were putting a finishing touch on their church: a 2,200-ft. tunnel to the mountain slope, which will provide a reassuring pinpoint of daylight for nervous visitors...
