A mother is the most important person on earth. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral -- a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby's body.
- Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty

As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we’re doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women.
- Nicole Johnson, The Invisible Woman

Thank you for visiting the new home of Building Cathedrals. We are still working on updates to this site, so the tabs and categories will be corrected over the next few months, in between summer barbecues and diaper changes. We hope you will find the new site much easier to read and will visit us often! St. Joseph, patron of workers, pray for us!
