Bishop's Chair (cathedra)

"The ministry of presidency… is symbolised pre-eminently in the chair or cathedra of the bishop, since he is the high-priest and teacher of his diocese, presiding over its whole life in the name of Christ."

The large, throne-like, carved wooden chair on the sanctuary is the cathedra or Bishop's chair.

The chair was a gift to Bishop Pompallier.
