It was erected in 1876 under the pastorate of Rev. Wesley J. Gaines, at a cost of $20,000. Rev. Gaines was the first pastor in record of the church. The graceful central tower and flanking turrets were added in 1886 during the ministry of Rev. L. L. Thomas.

The parish of St. Augustine, which dates from the celebration of a mass on September 8, 1565, by the Spaniard Pedro Menedez and his men, is the oldest Catholic parish within the present day United States. During Queen Anne's War, the English Governor of South Carolina, James Moore, raided St. Augustine and destroyed an earlier church. Plagued by financial difficulties, the parish was unable to construct a new church until this coquina edifice was begun in 1793. Completed in 1797, it became a cathedral in 1870 when St. Augustine was elevated to a diocese. Augustin Verot was invested as the first bishop. In 1887, fire severely damaged the cathedral, but the facade and walls remained standing and were preserved when the building was restored in 1887-1888. The chancel, transcept and campanile were added at that time. Further restoration was carried out in 1965. ]]> Cathedral of the Oldest Catholic Parish in the United States

Originally a stopover for pioneers on their way to California, Reno became the home to some of the first trailblazers – Methodist missionaries. Their first church meeting took place in the spring of 1869, not long after the town site of Reno was established. In 1870 the first United Methodist Church building was constructed. The cornerstone for this present church building was laid in 1926.

An Atlanta tradition since 1948, a giant Christmas tree was put on display on the Rich's department store. Each year, the tree was lit on Thanksgiving night.

In 1994, the parent company of Rich's bought Macy's, and the stores eventually merged. The Rich's name was dropped in 2005, but the Christmas tree tradition now continues on the roof ot this Macy's store.]]> Macy's Great Tree
