Assessment

One of two co-cathedrals of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee (alongside Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Pensacola); located across from Florida State University. Father Tim Holeda, Rector, offered prayers at Gov. Ron DeSantis's second inaugural ceremony in January 2023. DeSantis's staff and a priest have confirmed he and his family regularly attend Catholic churches in the Tallahassee area; the Co-Cathedral is the diocesan seat and the parish most publicly linked to him via Fr. Holeda.
