St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral

The main entrance to St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Parma, Ohio, in the United States. Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church of Cleveland purchased 10.5 acres of land at 5720 State Road in Parma in 1947. The church broke ground in March 1949 for a new Catholic school, which opened in May 1951. The school's chapel served as a mission church. A second school building (the “Annex") and a convent for the Sisters of St. Basil the Great opened in May 1954. On August 13, 1959, Archbishop Constantine Bohachevsky erected St. Josaphat Parish. Rev. Andrew Ulicky was named the first pastor, and the school name changed to St. Josaphat. In 1961, St. Josaphat Parish began construction of a building intended to house a co-educational high school. The $1 million structure was built completely through volunteer labor, and was designed by parish member Michael Stefanyk (an architect and engineer). Made of brick with stone trim, the building featured an open beam wooden ceiling. It was circular, 211 feet in diameter. Sixteen classrooms, a library, and a science laboratory occupied the outer ring of the building, while a 140 foot diameter gymnasium occupied the center. The dome had a height of 48 feet at its highest point, 25 feet at its lowest. The dome was designed by Roof Structures, Inc. of St. Louis. The 4 x 10 precut wooden beams were shipped from Oregon. The basement originally was designed to be a nuclear fallout shelter. Construction on the school was still under way in 1964. By that time, half the fallout shelter had been taken over by HVAC equipment and the other half converted into an art room and a cafeteria. Completed by 1968, the school never opened. The erection of St. Andrew Parish siphoned off too many familes. Instead, the structure served as a sports venue (primarily boxing), auditorium, and meeting hall. About 1975, it became known as the "Astrodome". A third, five-classroom school building was erected in 1965. St. Josaphat Chapel suffered a ma
