The cathedral was just a few blocks from where we were staying. We entered and were captivated by the altar area and the stained glass windows. It's a sacred space to just sit and contemplate and of course, stroll around the inside. A must-see stop if you are in the downtown area.

The church is located in downtown Sacramento. I walked over a mile to attend mass and found the church and the parishioner to be loving and kind.

The Cathedral is amazing and quite beautiful. The stained glass is incredible and the exterior is not to be missed. Enjoy the feel of a European cathedral at home. It right u there with the wonderful cathedral in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It's definitely a cathedral. I went to this church since it's close to the hotel I'm staying at. I love the decor/architecture. The service was also good. There were two people singing during the Saturday mass and they did phenomenal!

This is one of the most beautiful interiors of any church I have visited (save the Vatican). And the homily was insightful and meaningful. You can feel the Holy Spirit!!

In today's world of fear and worry, this is a place feel peace and healing; Go in the afternoon when the light is bright and the windows glow. Light a candle for a soul now departed. Enjoy the mysterious feeling of soulful beauty and grace.
