In January the archdiocese announced plans to build a new cathedral on the Saint Vibiana site, plans which necessitated the demolition of the old cathedral. This led to a lengthy legal battle between the archdiocese and preservationists , who argued that the cathedral was a city landmark and that it should be either incorporated into the new cathedral or otherwise saved.

This legal battle prompted the archdiocese to look to build the cathedral on a new site. In December , the archdiocese announced it was purchasing a 5. The construction was supervised by Father Richard S. Vosko , a liturgical design consultant and priest of the Diocese of Albany who has overseen the design and renovation of numerous churches and cathedrals in the United States. Contemporary statuary and appointments decorate the complex. Prominent of these appointments are the bronze doors and the statue called The Virgin Mary , all adorning the entrance and designed by Robert Graham. Other features include three fountains and a bronze sculpture by Johnny Bear Contreras dedicated as a Native American memorial. In addition to the church, the cathedral grounds also include a mausoleum , gift shop, cafe, children's garden, conference center, and clergy residences. The relics of Saint Vibiana are interred in the mausoleum, as are the remains of several past bishops , archbishops , and auxiliary bishops of Los Angeles.

The size of the cathedral is 6, square metres 64, sq ft. Roger Cardinal Mahony's decision to build a new cathedral utilizing contemporary architecture drew criticisms from those who preferred the gothic revival stylings typical of preceding centuries. In actuality, the cathedral's architectural design was selected from a pool of 38 submissions from international architectural firms as far away as Japan, Germany, Spain and England, by a blue-ribbon jury of experts from the J. Others argued that a church of that size and expense was unnecessary, overly-elaborate and that the money could have been better spent on social programs, suggesting that either St. Basil Church on South Kingsley Drive, despite their smaller size, could perform the functions required of a cathedral with minimal additional cost. Cardinal Mahoney reiterated his pledge for no parish-based appeal to finance the cathedral construction, and urged major donors to the cathedral not to cut back on their current or future charitable giving in order to continue outreach efforts to the poor at the same time.

Avoiding any fundraising from local parishes and devoting 24 hours per week in contacting actual and potential donors, the cardinal described his cathedral project in some of his letters as follows: "Historically, cathedrals have defined their eras, creating a legacy of enduring and innovative architectural designs. They have served as a focal point for artistic and religious expression through their acquisition from local artisans of the adornments that distinguish and enhance the structure, and through the central role they have played in preserving and expanding the spiritual and liturgical teachings that define the Catholic faith. This project will serve a vital role in our society - contributing to the architectural, religious and cultural persona of downtown Los Angeles". In response to protests staged during the construction of the cathedral, the cardinal's editorial for the Los Angeles Times, dated October 19, , stated: "The Catholic Worker and others shortchange the poor when they adopt the stance that the Church should be attentive only to the material concerns of the needy.

This is out of step with Church history and with the teaching of Jesus, who said that people do not live by bread alone. There are various kinds of poverty, of which material poverty is but one. Vibiana's Cathedral. Dobson's Opus 75 has a total of 6, pipes. It is the 89th largest pipe organ in North America and the rd largest in the world. Vibiana instrument was rebuilt in by Austin Organs [20] The organ case is approximately 60 feet 18 m high, and is located approximately 24 feet 7. To meet earthquake-stability requirements, the pipes and case are supported by a massive internal steel frame. The cathedral features a mausoleum in its lower level, containing 1, crypts and 4, columbarium niches for burials. Proceeds from the sale of memorials and burial spaces are placed in an endowment fund to support the cathedral. All past ordinaries of the archdiocese are memorialized in the mausoleum, including a future burial site for Cardinal Roger Mahony , and the remains of several ordinaries and auxiliary bishops who died before the cathedral was built were transferred there.

Vibiana Chapel located adjacent to the mausoleum. The crypt mausoleum features a number of stained glass windows that were originally installed in Saint Vibiana's Cathedral. This idea was suggested by Mario Agustin Locsin, a renowned Liturgical Artist and consultant on the renovation.

From Archbishop

The old cathedral windows were restored and two new windows featuring guardian angels created by the Judson Studios were placed at the entrance to the crypt mausoleum. The cathedral hosts occasional musical performances, including concerts by Libera. Every Wednesday afternoon, the cathedral holds an organ recital. It is free and open to the public.
