Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta
- Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta
. It was established as a parish in 1936.
The Cathedral is located on Peachtree Road NE between East Wesley Way and Peachtree Way, in Atlanta's uptown Buckhead district. Early masses were held in the mansion that occupied the land, but the house was eventually torn down to make way for the cathedral building. The cost of the original land was $35,000.
The Cathedral was constructed by architect Henry D. Gagit, Jr. in the Gothic Revival form. The inside of the Cathedral is composed of marble with [stained glass] windows by Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia. The building itself was designated the "Most Beautiful Building in Atlanta" by Architectural Record Magazine in 1939.
On January 5, 1937, Pope Pius XI decreed the Diocese become the Diocese of Savannah-Atlanta. On July 2, 1956, the Archdiocese of Atlanta was created.
At present, the Cathedral is one of the ten largest parishes in the United States with over 5500 families. Christ the King School also occupies the property, with approximately 800 students.
