The Cathedral of Saint Paul serves a multitude of purposes for Catholics throughout the community. It is a place of worship for its parishioners and the center of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. But it is also a civic landmark and a place of respite and contemplation near a bustling downtown. It is the heart of a Catholic Community of Faith that reaches far beyond the walls of its majestic structure. The Cathedral is both a symbol of the larger Catholic Church and a vibrant parish community. It is, finally, a spiritual home for all.
