A different kind of trinity is emerging at Saskatoon\u2019s newest cathedral, where the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon is combining art, technology and faith in a stunning and environmentally-friendly project.<\/p>\n

The Holy Family Catholic Church, a $28.5-million cathedral under construction in Saskatoon\u2019s northeast, has solar cells embedded in the large stained glass windows that will be installed this spring.<\/p>\n

The cathedral could be the first church in North America to use photovoltaic cells in a stained glass installation, said cathedral building committee chair Jim Nakoneshny. The University of British Columbia used the combination in a library.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an art installation, but being able to incorporate energy-collecting methods is a way to show sustainability can be done without it being an ugly feature on the building,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
