LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – There is a building in every community defining its skyline. The tallest structure in La Crosse needed a fix from Wisconsin’s harsh winters and summer storms. Safety was the first priority. However, the project at St. Joseph the Workman Cathedral is about restoring a symbol of faith for its people.
“This church is La Crosse,” Sara Taggart said, a member of the parish council.
Every town has a shape, a signature, a fingerprint. Something original setting it apart.
“I was married here 25 years ago,” Taggart said.
In La Crosse, it’s hard to miss the place on the corner of 6th and Main where lives are built. Taggart can explain why the church looks quite different right now.
