Creative Civilization Creates The ‘BOOK’ On San Fernando Cathedral.

Creative Civilization, the agency of record for the San Fernando Cathedral City Centre Project, created a memorable gift for the donors that raised funds for the City Centre Capital Campaign. What was created, was a gift for the entire country to enjoy.

Creative Civilization created an 80-page pictorial book to commemorate the culmination of the City Centre Capital Campaign, which successfully raised more than $15 million for the restoration and preservation of San Fernando Cathedral.

“This book is a wonderful way to celebrate the founding and history in San Fernando,” said Gisela Girard, principal and chief operating officer of Creative Civilization. “City Centre-A Celebration of the History and Future of San Fernando Cathedral commemorates San Fernando through the imagery of its past, present and future.”

The agency pursued hundreds of pictures and slides belonging to Father David Garcia, San Fernando Cathedral, the Archives of the Archdiocese and local historians. Photographs were carefully selected to capture special moments and unique events that have taken place at San Fernando Cathedral. The book includes photos from the pioneering years of the early 1700s to present-day.

The 80-page book is available for sale at the San Fernando Cathedral Gift Shop and will soon be available for purchase at the San Antonio Visitors Center, Mexican American Cultural Center book store, Twig Bookstore and Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center Gift Shop. All proceeds from the book benefit the Historical Centre Foundation.

San Fernando Cathedral has been at the heart of the San Antonio community for over 270 years. The historic cathedral serves as the foundation for San Antonio’s religious, cultural, historical, civic and artistic development.
