  Picture of Cathedral Facade
  The altar contains relics of St. Jucundius and St. Justina, and two side chapels were crafted as shrines honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. Stained glass windows, designed in Syracuse, New York, depicted the Annunciation, St. Patrick, St. Joseph's deathbed scene, King David with his lyre, St. Cecilia, and some events in the life of Jesus.
  The church proper has 300 ceiling tiles. 
  During the 1990s, the church underwent some construction updates and modernizing.
  The balcony contains a large pipe organ.
  At some point, the name of the school was renamed O'Donoghue school. Several decades later the school was renamed St Patrick's. However, at the parking lot entrance near the road, the is a ramp with stairs leading to the gymnasium. Underneath this ramp, on the wall, the stylized brick display showing the mame of the school as "O'Donoghue" is still clearly visible and displayed.
