As a new Catholic, soaking up all the beauty in Cathedrals and shrines I can find after 35 years as a Baptist, I say a hearty AMEN to this tribute to St. Louis. The Cathedral is breathtaking, and appropriately so, drawing us into a sense of the awe we should feel toward God. Thanks for this posting.

Evidence of the settlement of the city by Irish, Italians and others in the 19th cent.

My wife and I prefer it even to the cathedral basilica. Anyone visting St. Louis, be sure not to miss the spectacular shrine of St. Joseph to the north of downtown.

We toured a number of churches and was impressed with their beauty and scale. The Cathedral was impressive beyond belief and could rank as the most spectacular one in the United States. Our concluding Mass was at St. Francis De Sales, now staffed by the Institute of Christ the King. Archbishop Burke celebrated a Tridentine Solemn High Mass.

I spent a month in St. Louis (I live in Korea) last year while my daughter underwent medical treatment. I had entrusted her to the Blessed Virgin, and felt comforted by a giant billboard that greeted us driving into the city from the airport: "OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, EMPRESS OF ALL THE AMERICAS." St. Louis is a beautiful city with wonderful people. Thank you for posting these photos.

I am a parishioner at St. Stephen Protomartyr, located in south St. Louis. (www.saintstephenstl.org) Ours is a more modern-style church. Within our parish, however, we maintain the Chapel of Sts. Mary and Joseph (http://www.saintstephenstl.org/ssmj/ssmj.shtml) , which has a very rich history and may provide additional information to those who wish to learn a bit about St. Louis Catholic history.
