Cathedral of St John the Evangelist
515 Cathedral St
Lafayette, LA
Built: 1916
Style: Dutch Romanesque Revival
The present church structure was built in 1916 under the direction of Monsignor William Joseph Teurlings from Holland. It was elevated to the status of a Cathedral in 1918 when the Diocese of Lafayette was created. Breaux Bridge, Louisiana native Rev. Jules Benjamin Jeanmard was appointed as Lafayette’s first bishop.
The historic church—located at 515 Cathedral Street in downtown Lafayette—is the third structure built on the site. The land was donated in 1821 by Jean Mouton, a wealthy planter who had founded the town as Vermilionville. The cornerstone was laid in 1913, and the church was completed in 1916 in the Dutch Romanesque Revival style. A large red and white brick structure, its notable features include stained glass produced in Munich depicting the life of the patron, oil paintings of Christ and the Apostles, and a Casavant Frères organ.
The nave dates to the 10th century, but was badly damaged during the French Revolution. It was redecorated in the mid 19th century by Hippolyte Flandrin.
Église de Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés) - Paris, France
The ornate ceiling of one of 9 chapels inside St John's Co-cathedral. This one is the Chapel of the Langue of Aragon.
The rather simple exterior of St John's Co-cathedral does not give an indication of what awaits the visitor inside. The co-cathedral was built between 1573 and 1578 when money started pouring into Malta from the catholic church after the Knights Hospitaller and local Maltese citizens successfully defended the island against Ottoman invasion during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. The interior was redecorated in the baroque style you see today in the 17th century.
The co-cathedral also houses two paintings by Caravaggio, the Beheading of St John, and St Jerome writing.
The cathedral survived relatively unscathed during the aerial bombardment of Valletta in WWII whilst others nearby did not.
The building was completed in 1815 and was closed to the public until recently.
