Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Roman Catholic cathedral in Pueblo, United States.
The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart stands at 414 West 11th Street in Pueblo, Colorado. Built in 1912–13, the Gothic Revival church has pointed arch windows, a spire and vaulted interior; the National Register listed it in 1989. It is the mother church of the Diocese of Pueblo.
The parish was established in the late 1800s to serve Pueblo's growing Catholic population during the city's expansion. It eventually became the cathedral and religious center for the diocese in the area.
The cathedral serves as a gathering place for Pueblo's Catholic community, with regular religious ceremonies and community events that shape the spiritual life of its parishioners. These services and celebrations form the center of religious practice for those who worship here.
Check with the local parish office for current service times and visiting conditions before planning your visit. The building is typically open during worship services but may have limited access at other times.
The 1912 cornerstone was laid on May 5, and the church was dedicated within a year by Archbishop Nicholas Matz of Denver. The 190-family congregation raised the $48,000 construction cost. Msgr. Thomas Wolohan, pastor for thirty-six years, is buried in a crypt inside the cathedral.
