Description

From this view of the Historic Post Office building, a giant crucifix is visible. This represents the area occupied by the Chancery center for the Diocese of Orlando. In 2001, Bishop Norbert Dorsey bought most of the building, which is on land the Church sold during the Great Depression, to accommodate the growing offices of the diocese. This situated the offices next to the St. James Cathedral, which is the center of the Diocese.
