Christ Cathedral Dedication Book

CONSTRUC TION DOCUMENTATION



July 17, 2019
Your Excellency, Bishop Vann
Dear Bishop Vann:
On behalf of Snyder Langston and our Project Partners, we congratulate you, the Diocese
of Orange and the community of Roman Catholics on the development, construction, and
dedication of Christ Cathedral. Please accept this book which lists all the men and women
who were members of the construction team that built Christ Cathedral. If asked what
their job role was on the project, you would hear; I helped Bishop Vann build a beautiful
cathedral. Their passion for excellence and commitment to the success of this project was
evident from beginning to end. We are all grateful to have played a part in the construction
of Christ Cathedral, and humbled knowing that it will inspire many generations of people
to the glory of the church.
Respectfully yours in Christ,

John F. Rochford



On February 13, 2017 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange selected Snyder Langston to join
Johnson Fain in transforming the iconic all-glass Crystal Cathedral into Christ Cathedral, the new
home for nearly 1.3 million Orange County Catholics. The extensive interior renovation of this
new sanctuary was completed over a 24-month period and included a number of unique features
and construction challenges, which required creative thinking from a high-performing team
committed to overcoming obstacles and achieving success.
After strengthening the main worship floor with carbon fiber, Snyder Langston erected 86,500
s.f. of scaffolding, to a height of 96’, to clean and paint the truss roof structure; and install new
fire protection, a new lighting system and 11,500 quatrefoils, the project’s most notable design
feature. The metal sail-shaped panels were strategically arranged and affixed to building’s space
frame, significantly reducing solar heat gain and glare while improving the acoustical properties
of the worship area. Seven hundred new LED lights illuminate the structure, ensuring that the
reflection of the quatrefoil’s intricate pattern may be enjoyed day or night.
Over 300 tons of stone was imported from Italy, Turkey, Germany and Tunisia for use as flooring
and wall cladding throughout the worship level, Chapel and Baptistery. The wall panels for the
Chapel and Baptistery are perforated metal with an embedded cloud-like pattern and feature a
gilded, decorative dome ceiling.
The motorized main entry pivot doors, made of steel with a burnished black patina finish, measure
28’ wide by 10’ high. Each door weighs 5,900 pounds. The crucifix, central to the Cathedral,
is suspended by an approximately 7-ton steel and aluminum baldachin, clad with gilding. The
marble altar weighs 9,000 pounds.
With 16,061 pipes, the Hazel Wright Organ is one of the largest pipe organs in the world. Originally
donated to the Crystal Cathedral in 1982, the musical instrument was dismantled and shipped to
Padua, Italy for extensive repair and restoration. The organ was re-installed during the course of
the project.
Restoration of the building’s main structure was extensive and detailed: more than 10,000 man
hours were devoted to cleaning and painting the roof and wall trusses.
The renovation continued on the exterior with refurbished landscaping and installation of over
93,000 s.f. of decorative pavers along walkways and in the plaza areas around the exterior of
the Cathedral, which will encourage fellowship among parishioners and promote community
connectedness.
Snyder Langston is honored to be a part of this important project and is grateful for the opportunity
to work with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange and their wonderful team including Bishop
Vann, Father Christopher Smith, Brother William Woeger, Deacon Mike Stock, Richard Heim, Joe
Novoa, Kymm Binnquist, Violeta Ochoa, Veneé Wong, Tony Jennison, Kris Silver and Mike Mysse.
We would also like to acknowledge Johnson Fain, our trusted architectural partner. We appreciate
the invaluable leadership of Scott Johnson, Larry Ball and Steve Chung. Flynn Construction’s Eric
Flynn, James Free and William Esser were also instrumental to the success of this project.
