The Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, the superstructure of the Cathedral was built between 1907 and 1914. The Cathedral's 100th Anniversary is being celebrated in 2014. It is known for its' beautiful interior mosaics, which took nearly 80 years to create using more than 41 million pieces of glass tesserae. The Cathedral is known for having one of the largest mosaic collections in the Western Hemisphere.

The craftsmanship, the history, the reverence of the Cathedral is so very impressive. Take the free tour! We did go to the museum downstairs, and that helps put in perspective the talents, the time, and the vision that created the mosaic masterpieces you see in the cathedral. It's an amazing place to see no matter your faith is. I've been to St. Louis multiple times and never knew about this place.

We stayed at the Shakespeare Chateau and spent many hours walking in the really beautiful neighbourhood. Further north or east, it was a big change in 'atmosphere'. Too bad that not everyone is interested (or can't afford?) to bring their 1800's house into a good state... But those who have - we fully appreciate the care you have taken to preserve this beautiful part of St Joe's history!

Quiet little place to tour, and have some individual prayer time. This is a nice location for a family reunion, or a wedding. Well maintained buildings and grounds.

When my wife & I were walking around Historic Ste. Genevieve last week, a shopkeeper suggested we stop in to see Ste. Genevieve Catholic Church. She noted that the church steeple is visible from just about anywhere in town, so it should be easy to find. She was right on all counts. The current brick church building was opened in 1880, but there were two previous churches built on the property dating as far back as the mid-1700s when French settlers occupied the area. The church now towers (literally) over the town of Ste. Genevieve, but the exterior only gives you a hint of what's inside. The high arched ceilings, the large dome above the sanctuary, the beautiful large stained glass windows, the exquisite statuary & altarpieces, the imposing pipe organ in the back loft, and the high backed wooden choir benches on each side of the main altar all pay tribute to the faith that inspired the church & to the the faithful artisans who built it. Give yourself a half-hour or more to walk around inside (when there's not a Mass or other official activity going on) and to stare & take pictures of the amazing features of this beautiful structure. And be sure to heed the review title from TA member DandLtravel: "Don't Press the Button ... ." We wish we had read that before we arrived, because we were shocked when the recorded narration echoed throughout the church. Thankfully we didn't press that button until the religious education session wrapped up that morning. The recording has a lot of valuable historical information to offer, but there's a far more quiet summary on the historical plaque outside the main church doors.
