St. Joseph's Cathedral

Today, I am going to Sioux Falls for a shopping trip with my mother and sister. Because of the time we are leaving and how long we plan to be there, we will attend Mass at St. Joseph's Cathedral. The acoustics make it difficult to hear if someone is speaking away from the altar, but it is an absolutely gorgeous Church.

The stained glass windows are original to the Cathedral. There is some need for restoration, as there is in most aging Church buildings, but it doesn't detract from the overall reverent feel of the place. Even if you didn't know it was a Church, you would still feel like you needed to speak in hushed tones. There is just that aura about it.

I am looking forward to the afternoon.
