This cathedral was erected in the early 1900’s. One of the plaques we read said that each parishioner was responsible for hauling one load of stone.

At the time of its dedication, it was the largest church west of the Mississippi. If you are curious, I found this link: The Cathedral of the Plains.

If you live nearby this lovely church or know anything about its history, I would love to hear more about it! Isn’t it beautiful?
