Huge doom and nice music.Interesting architecture style.Worth 20 min trip, plus 20 min in the museum nearby.
I have been to this cathedral twice but neither time has been when they have had the flower festival. Would love to go next time they have it. The cathedral is gorgeous alone, can't imagine what it's like during the festival.
Ranked as one of the ten largest in the United States when it was completed in 1959, St. Cecilia's is the archdiocesan parish in Omaha. The beautiful high ceilings and artwork are magnificent. Every January, the art council produces a fantastic flower show with florists from all over the city creating fanciful displays according to a theme.
Beautiful Catholic Cathedral worth a stop. Situated on one of the highest spots in Omaha, the cathedral is stunning. It faces West (away from downtown) and the façade is best viewed in the afternoon. There is street parking and two small lots in front of the Cathedral.
The church is so big, statues are very impressive.PAINTINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Admission was free! It must of taken several years for the church too of been built.
This italian-iberian inspired Roman Catholic cathedral is a grand space, a wonderland of masonry and mosaic, it is definitely an oasis of calm. the cathedral also has a really beautiful mechanical action pipe organ built by Martin Pasi, which has been featured on the American Public Media radio show Pipedreams.
This is a gorgeous cathedral with a wonderful sounding organ. There are plenty of Mass times to choose from. It is located in a wonderful old neighborhood easily accessible from Dodge Street. Sermon was to the point and not too long.
I have grown up in the shadow of this marvelous building. It is the closest think Omaha has to the great cathedrals of Europe. Don't miss the small chapel on the left side of the alter.
The flower festival and music/gallery events are for everyone, but you must walk slowly around the block and see the architecture at sunset or just before, it is amazing! Check out the history online and go to mass or an event to truly appreciate. We have for many years. Read about the history, architecture and renovation online, before you go, to enhance the experience.
Like seeing the great cathedrals of Europe without any language translations required. The art in the stained glass window and murals throughout are amazing!
