Raphael's was not intended to be a Cathedral when built. Previous Bishops had considering building a new Cathedral elsewhere in Madison, as there was no room downtown to build a larger Cathedral church. In June 2007, a decision was reached to erect a new building on the site of the old Cathedral, replacing the structure that was damaged in the fire. The new building will have a different floor plan than the previous building and be capable of seating approximately 1,000 people. It will reuse the steeple and other items that can be salvaged from the original building. As of 2021, no new building has been erected on the former site.

William Nolan, was later acquitted in September 2019 of five of these counts, with the presiding judge also dropping the remaining count. The Diocese of Madison also investigated Nolan and later cleared him from the title of "credibly accused" priest in March 2020 as well. Recent During Robert C. Morlino's term, the number of seminarians in the diocese grew from six men in 2003, to 30 by 2015.
