Cathedral of St. John Berchmans (Shreveport, Louisiana)

It is one of only eight parish churches in the world dedicated to the Jesuit Saint John Berchmans.

[1][2] In 2016, the cathedral acquired relics of the heart of St. John Berchmans from the Jesuit order in Belgium, displayed in a reliquary near the main altar.

Soon after, from 1992 to 1994, a major renovation was completed, which added both a vestibule and free-standing chapel with a seating capacity of 100 persons.

[11] The cathedral was completed in a mixed Tudor-Gothic style: the exposed wooden beams inside the church are typical of the Tudor style, while the pointed arches of the windows and doorways evince a Gothic influence.

[1] Three of the large windows inside the church were executed by the stained-glass artist Emil Frei Jr.[1]
