Teams of highly-skilled and accomplished artists from Rohn & Associates Design, Inc. have once again completed renovations to St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica in Beaumont, Texas.

This beautiful sacred site suffered more than a million dollars of extensive water damage caused by Hurricane Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008.
Rohn & Associates originally designed and completed the restoration of the Beaumont cathedral seven years ago. Rohn's talented designers and artists transformed the Texas structure into a replica of Rome's revered Basilica of San Clemente; one of Christianity's oldest churches.
 



Today, Beaumont's St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica is a stop for many pilgrims. His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, recognized the liturgical glory and historical significance of St. Anthony Cathedral by proclaiming it a Minor Basilica on July 11, 2006.
