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.

Awesome building - just the architecture alone - inside and out - ornate, beautiful - you dont have to be religious to enjoy this

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!!

Beautiful old church in the heart of Sacramento. The cantor was fabulous. The stained glass windows and statues are beautiful. There were several Mass time, one that fit well I to my busy schedule.

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.

We attended Christmas Eve services here. We have been in many churches in our travels including a number of cathedrals and basilicas. This cathedral, while ornate and splendid also feels very warm and inviting. The woodwork is wonderfully intricate without being dark and heavy like it is in so many large churches. If you are looking for a place to... More

It's very convenient to our hotel, walking distance and just two blocks away. Loved the paintings all over the church and the choir. It reminded me of the churches in Europe. There were some weird men in front of the stairs going up the front door of the Chuch. At first I was scared to cross but they did not... More
