Over the next several years resolutions to establish a cathedral were passed at the convention, including a scheme to raise the necessary funds.

It was at a meeting of the Foundation on April 24, 1930 that Bishop Matthews mentioned a plan to make Trinity Church in Trenton the diocesan cathedral.

The vestry at Trinity approved of the idea and Christ Church, which was only a cathedral in a limited sense, was not opposed.

In the north transept is the Caesarea Altar that features carved figures of the Twelve Apostles.

The south transept contains the Elizabeth's Chapel that features 14 Russian Icons and a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and child in a 15th-century style.

The crypt below the cathedral follows the Norman style that is characterized by round arches and octagon-shaped pillars.

Images of saints and leaders of the church are depicted in the stained glass windows.

On top of the screen is a depiction of the crucified Christ that is flanked by his mother Mary and the apostle John.

They include images of her mother Anne, her father Joachim, her cousin Elizabeth, and the Flight into Egypt.

Old Testament prophets and saints of the Anglican tradition are found on the windows in the nave.

They were a gift from the City of Trenton in thanksgiving for the end of the American Civil War.
