After the Native Americans left and the town of Grand Rapids grew, Father Viszoczky built a new church on Monroe Street which he named St. Andrew.

The St. Ambrose Chapel wing was added at that time and Maple Street from Sheldon to Division was closed and a green space created.

A major renovation of the cathedral in 1979-1980 brought the altar forward into the congregation and a vesting and gathering area was created.

Another major renovation from 1997 to 2000 created a baptismal pool and refurbished the stained glass windows and the Stations of the Cross.
