Legacy of Lakehurst: Cathedral features stunning display of stain glass windows

The Cathedral of the Air in Manchester Township is a 20th century Norman-Gothic style military chapel that is intended to serve the military personnel serving at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

The chapel features an incredible display of 18 stained-glass windows, which depict the human history of flight – and memorialize the loss of naval airships USS Akron and USS Shenandoah, both of which had been based at the nearby Lakehurst Naval Air Station.

The windows were created by the Willet Studios in Philadelphia.

Originally used primarily as a Roman Catholic church, it no longer holds regular services and is used as a non-denominational location for weddings, baptisms and funerals.
