The OJ & Butch Betz Dining Room

The dining room seats up to 20 people for served or buffet dining. The dining table is original to the home. The sideboard is a deconsecrated altar from a diocesan chapel. A lifesize portrait of Sister Catherine Cassidy—co-founder of Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice), lends the room a sense of faithful service across generations. The original fireplace is adorned with delph tile. The stunning crystal sconces were sourced from a historic townhouse in Washington, D.C.

The library is dedicated to Sandy Dillingham DeMille, wife of the late author and Cathedral member Nelson DeMille. Our collection of volumes in Chritian spirituality as well as the DeMille novel collection make the library a great place to explore. Comfortable arm chairs with plush ottomans make the library a popular place for spiritual direction and private meetings.
