St. Mary's Cathedral

About this church

St. Mary’s Cathedral is the historic downtown seat of the Diocese of Colorado Springs and the oldest Catholic parish in the Pikes Peak region. Weekend Mass is celebrated Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday at 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30 a.m., plus noon in Spanish. The 9:00 Sunday Mass includes American Sign Language and is identified by the cathedral as the city’s only weekly ASL Mass. Weekday Masses, regular confession, and Eucharistic Adoration provide several additional opportunities for prayer at 22 West Kiowa Street.

The parish traces its regional roots to a Mass celebrated in 1860; the present site was dedicated as St. Mary’s Parish in 1891, and the upper church followed in 1898. Its Gothic church, twin steeples, historic windows, and restored sanctuary make the building part of downtown’s religious history as well as an active parish. Sunday faith formation for preschool through grade twelve generally runs 10:15 to 11:45 a.m. from September through May, with high-school Upper Room sessions on first and third Sundays. Daily-Mass visitors should use the plaza door marked “Entrance,” and everyone should check the bulletin for holy-day or holiday changes.
