Look I was not expecting to have a spiritual experience today. I came to town to visit the place that my family came from. But I didn't really have any idea what I was going to do when I got here. I saw this cathedral from a ways away and decided to check it out. As I got out of the car the bells in the tower began to chime. I claimed the steps hesitantly not wanting to interrupt anyone praying, but the room was empty. I stood in awe of the sight of this place. It took my words. My daughter had questions which I did my best to answer and when it came to the lit prayer candles. She wanted to do one. So together we lit one for our family which is no longer with us. And... It just hit me really deep. This place is a whole different thing, and it's beautiful

I always have mixed feelings about visiting an elaborate Christian Cathedral. on one hand it's amazing to see the beautiful architecture stained glass and incredible artwork. it reminds me of other times that I've been in Europe to see Cathedrals there. on the other hand, the high Church culture lends itself to seeing God as distant, unapproachable and a bit (unreasonably) perfectionistic or unattainable. this isn't the truest expression of Jesus but I'm grateful for the representation of Christ and the biblical stories there. The building itself is immaculate and the architecture and artwork is amazing and if you're in Helena and have some time it's worth taking a look at

Absolutely stunning gem of a church as beautiful as any European ones I've visited. Breathtaking just being inside, you can't help but to look up in awe and feel small amid the glory of God. Even our 17 month old seemed pretty impressed! We've *actually* never seen her have so much fun inside a building like that, she was so happy running around and giggling and looking around super excited, it must have seemed like a big fun house to her LOL we couldn't help but let her have fun while trying our best to maintain a respectful level of reverance 😆

Grew up next to this place. The trains of Helena make a lot of noise and I thought, as a child, that at night the rumble accompanied a huge door opening in the cathedral and the light of the Lord would shine, welcoming all who would enter. The structure truly is a marvel, and they hold mass quite often, for those with Catholic tastes.

This was such a great experience to visit and I was in awe of the beauty inside. If you visit Helena and not make time to see the attention to details here, you've missed a golden opportunity. I immediately was reminded when I was fortunate enough to see the Vatican in Rome Italy and Notre-Dame in France.

This is a beautiful cathedral outside and in. The detail of the church and stained class windows which tell a story are amazing. It reminds me of the beautiful churches in Europe. I sat there awe struck as I looked around and marveled at the Catholic tradition decorating this beautiful cathedral.
