Historical Significance: Architect Brian Clinch based the towered west façade of this Baroque style cathedral on L’Eglise de la Trinite in Paris, completed twenty years earlier. The Sacramento church was given additional grandeur by the addition of a dome over the crossing of nave and transept, and was the largest cathedral west of the Mississippi until the 1960s. Interior stained glass windows, historic and contemporary, are well worth a return visit. An extensive restoration of this beautiful building, which included reopening its central dome on the interior, was completed in 2005.

Current Use: The Church is still in operation today as a place of worship and celebration.
