St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral

St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral is a Gothic Revival church in Cheyenne with a sandstone exterior quarried from Iron Mountain. The interior is supported by steel and concrete arches that hold up an oak-faced ceiling.

Construction began in 1906 with the cornerstone laid in 1907, and Bishop Maurice Burke consecrated the building in 1909. These early years marked the establishment of a major religious institution in the growing city.

The stained glass windows throughout the interior came as memorial gifts from Europe and shape the experience of those who pray here. A large Madonna window in the organ loft was donated by the Knights of Columbus and reflects the community's lasting bonds across generations.

The building is open to visitors and shows religious architecture from the early 1900s. Plan time for a quiet visit to explore the interior details.

The building houses a Visser-Rowland organ installed in 1991 with 38 stops and 53 ranks of pipes. This instrument is an important part of the sanctuary's sound and is used during services.
