Another Future RPC Singing Location (We Hope and Pray): Cathedral of St. Paul

Sandy (at the lower left) and I got to tour the impressive Cathedral of St. Paul in the heart of the Minnesota capital following her graduation ceremony in Minneapolis. We took way too many photos to put here, so I'll just stick to a few. Kathy was here during last year's colloquium; have you ever visited it?

St. Paul guarding the cathedral and city that bear his name.

Looking in from the front center doors.

Statues of the four Evangelists are located at the corners of the front of the cathedral.

I lost count of all the side altars. There are several behind the main altar as well.

The choir loft. The organ keyboard, or *an* organ keyboard, is behind the main altar.

The altar and dome above it.

Paintings abound as well.

Before he became Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli visited the Cathedral of St. Paul in 1926.

The cathedral dominates its portion of the St. Paul skyline. The surrounding Cathedral Hill neighborhood is worth visiting with its historic homes, museums, and quaint restaurants. The Minnesota State Capitol is only a short walk over I-94.
