Title: New Tokyo cathedral dedicated.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31946 NEW TOKYO CATHEDRAL DEDICATED TOKYO -- This ultra-modern Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was dedicated by Peter Tatsuo Cardinal Doi, Archbishop of Tokyo, to replace the archdiocese’s church destroyed by fire in 1945. The $1.7 million structure is characterized by four step concrete roofs which also serve as walls, covering the entire sides. The four roofs meet in the center in the shape of cross more than 100 feet from the ground. Seating capacity of the nave is about 600 worshippers, with standing room for 2,000. Attending the ceremonies were thousands of faithful, Japanese government and business leaders and members of the foreign diplomatic corps. Pope Paul VI sent Cardinal Doi an artistically wrought chalice to be used in the cathedral, built with the aid of Catholics in Cologne, Germany, archdiocese.
