Beautiful church inside and out with a rich history and stained glass from 1890. Check out the Be Welcoming statue outside of the church. I thought it's a statue of a traveler but when I sat down, I was surprised to see an angel. 🙏🏻

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have been in, such a hidden beauty. Grateful Mercy College is able to do pinning ceremonies here. Highly recommend attending.

Only been there for a Drake Univ. choir concert, but it's a beautiful worship space with stained glass windows and an ornate ceiling.

Ive dabbled in Catholicism and maybe one day I will commit if its best for me,

but when I did go here often, it was great. The church itself is very beautiful inside and outside, you will feel so small when inside the cathedral. Youll see people often come here outside of weekend masses, to of course have mass but also to pray as there is a large sense of inspiration in the atmosphere.

I am not Catholic; therefore, in that regard, & per the scope of a Google Review, I prefer to remain neutral as to the quality of the Catholic Religious Experience as it pertains to St. Ambrose Cathedral. That being said, the Cathedral is indeed quite impressive—and, ...pending restrictions...from the thing..., I would recommend a visit! I've never been during service; but I've been many times nonetheless—the staff/volunteers/anyone I've ever interacted with at the Cathedral...they have always been nice to me and generally great...
