The complex of Christ Cathedral , St. John's Chapel , St. Paul's Chapel and ancillary rooms was created by incorporating an older building . The Christ Cathedral was completed in 1989. The facade of the cathedral is adorned with a tall cross that is illuminated by fluorescent lamps at night. The dome of the cathedral is translucent. The handicapped accessible visitor room with its auditorium offers space for 1,800 worshipers.
