Saint Damien's Cathedral

Saint Damien's Cathedral.

Saint Damien's Cathedral was a cathedral in New York City, slated for demolition in 1996.

History

Saint Damien's Cathedral after the Hunter's crashed their airship into it.

The Cathedral was initially condemned as unsafe on May 15, 1996. [1] Demona chose the Cathedral for the site of her casting of the Fulfillment Spell inscribed upon the Medici Tablet since a requirement of the spell was it being cast on holy ground and because the Cathedral was abandoned. Whether the Cathedral was built upon preexisting holy ground or the Cathedral caused the ground to become holy is unknown. [2] On the night of the Hunter's Moon in 1996, it was the site of the final battle between the Manhattan Clan and the Hunters, and of Goliath's foiling of Demona's "Operation Clean Slate." The night also marked the Manhattan Clan's first interaction with the NYPD's Gargoyle Taskforce. ("Hunter's Moon" Part Three)

Demona returned to the Cathedral briefly on Halloween, 1996 to recover the crystal inside the Praying Gargoyle. ("Invitation Only")

On the night between November 5 and 6, 1996, Thailog, Brentwood, and Shahrizad visited the Cathedral for an as-yet-unknown purpose. [3] While Thailog and Brentwood searched through the debris of the Cathedral for something, Shahrizad told them more about the history of the Stone of Destiny. ("The Rock")
