Cathedral
of Saint Paul
The Cathedral of Saint Paul is a landmark, the Mother Church of the
Archdiocese and a vibrant parish that serves as the soul of the Upper
Midwest, calling us to live as children of God with the mission of
building a civilization of love. The Cathedral reminds us of the
sacrifices made by the immigrants who settled the area and how
Minnesota's capital city got its name. It is a spiritual home for all,
