SALT LAKE CITY -- After a year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, Monday's event was missing one thing: the stonemason.
The Most Rev. John C. Wester, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, along with other Church leaders, was supposed to place many items from the first 100 years of the Diocese in a time capsule Monday.
"I don't know, but today with medical science, looking at those little children, there really is a good chance that many of those children will be here a hundred years from now. So, it will be interesting to see," Bishop Wester said.
"[It's] the centennial celebration of this magnificent cathedral, so I feel very honored to be able to be here and be part of the celebration," said Duchesne resident Marea Doherty.
This centennial year has included a number of celebrations and concerts at the cathedral, even a visit Cardinal Levada from the Vatican.
It is not yet known when the cornerstone ceremony will take place.
