Courtesy of James Baca | May the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception long stand, its spires an expression of the questioning, upturned face of humanity, its chimes an eternal call to the spirituality that stirs within us, and its doors a haven to the weary-hearted in search of hope and rest! | |

Description
"This is your cathedral." This is a point Archbishop Charles Chaput makes often about the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.
The French Gothic facility known for its stunning stained glass windows - 75, reportedly more than any other church in the United States - made by the famed Royal Bavarian Art Institute in Germany, is the Mother Church of the Denver Archdiocese. As such, it's a beautiful treasure that belongs to all the Catholic faithful.
Among the changes currently under way is the installation of a new, Gothic-style marble altar coming from Spain that organizers hope will be dedicated the weekend of the anniversary celebration. Renovation plans include modifications to the bathrooms (making one handicap accessible), movement of the baptistery into the body of the cathedral, and improvements to the church's sound system.
