“Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was constructed from bricks made at Fr. Bernard Donnelly's brickyard on 11th and Pennsylvania. The church's history starts informally with the French men and women who began settling here around 1820. The cornerstone celebration was a beautiful affair, and more than 10,000 people from across the city and state visited. In 1895, the developing community added a carillon of eleven bells. Crafted in 1912 by local artisans, the stained glass windows of the sacred haven depict scenes from the life of Christ and other biblical narratives. Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception also offers a model for the sacred. The church provides free car parking facilities.”
