Holy Name Cathedral Damaged by Fire

Chicago fire fighters battled a three-alarm fire at the historic Holy Name Cathedral Tuesday morning. The fire started on the roof around 5:30 a.m. and was extinguished around 8:15.

A priest alerted everyone inside of the fire. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

The 134-year-old church suffered significant water damage. At least two-inches of water was standing in the sanctuary and the basement was flooded. The fire only damaged the roof.

The cathedral was built in 1871 after the Holy Name Church burned down in the Great Chicago Fire. Around 4,500 people attend mass there each week.
