Green Bay's St. Francis Xavier Cathedral:

(It's on this page if you scroll down a little): http://www.galenfrys...m/green_bay.htm

It's smaller, but the inside is awesome. I haven't found a picture, though. Maybe I could scan one....

The cathedral in Dallas...

Much prettier inside before the old altar was removed. :(

Heehee... It's funny looking at all of these pix. I just assumed that all cathedrals pretty much looked like St. Paul's...

I wish! We end up with stuff like this:

((the bell tower was actually part of the original plan but the diocese couldnt afford it at the time so they waited... now its there!!))

I don't think that's the large bell tower still planned. ;)


And my old Cathedral in Savannah:

theres more planned :huh: i dont think i knew that.
btw - i have to agree that our cathedral was MUCH more beautiful before the renovation though i run into a surprising number that like it better this way :blink: yeah i know i thought it was weird too.....
i have a picture from the Texas Catholic of it before renovation... ill have to scan it.
and i think the ft worth cathedral is gorgeous on the inside but the outside could use a little work :)

Which cathedral is that to? :P:

[sweetpea316]

Your old one in Savannah! WOW. I would never want to leave. :love:

[qfnol31]

Sadly I only went to Mass there a couple times. :( I now wish I'da gone there more. :)

[sweetpea316]

Yeah. I havn't been to mass in many places... SEAS is definitely the most beautiful one I've been to thus far. I need to get out more.

[hugheyforlife]

SEAS is pretty.... big and open..... but a lot of their stain glass is so small! and there arent many statues.....

[sweetpea316]

Oooh. I've been there actually. Not for mass or anything, but when I was in New Orleans for our bowl game last year. Soooo pretty!! :love:

I am such a sucker for pretty churches. I wish I could just travel around the world and take pictures of churches and make a book. hehe

I can't find any pictures of my Cathedral in Rockford, but I have never been there either... I really want to though! Here is a picture of the school though:

I think this may be it... If it is, I'm very suprised...

And then the Catherdral for the Joliet Diocese is very pretty. I've been there for a 'youth' Mass once...

I just cannot find any pictures of any of the Cathedrals! Man!

I've actually been to St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC; in fact, that was the first Catholic church I ever visited -- I was a senior in college. It is amazing. I went in with one of my college friends, and we both decided to pray for a while. I still remember that as being one of the most amazing prayer experiences I've ever had.

St. Pat's is the only Cathedral/ Church I have even been in that has monitors on each pillar so you can see the alter!

[Church Punk]

This isnt our Diocease Cathedral, however it used to be and is my current church. In my opinion it is much more impressive. It is the oldest building in Ontario and has over 300 years of history behind it!

And the rosary Chapel! There is stained glass 360° around the chapel of each of the mysteries of the Rosary.

The chapel is connected to the main Church and has exposition of the Blessed sacrament everyday for 12 hours.

The Cathedral Basicilla in St. Louis has (or used to have) the most mosaics in the whole world.

I'll put up pictures later, if someone hasn't already.

[sweetpea316]

:o Yep. I really need to get out more.
