Saint Paul's Cathedral

Description

St. Paul's Cathedral is the mother church for the Roman Catholic Diocese Of Pittsburgh.

Completed in 1906, the church (whose full, officially name is Cathedral Of Saint Paul) is a magnificent, Gothic structure uniquely situated in the midst of the city's academic, medical and cultural centers.

It is named in honor of St. Paul (5CE - 67CE), one of Christ's Apostles who is credited with writing much of the Bible's New Testament.

The church is a wonderful place for concerts and features a beautiful 1962 mechanical action organ created by master organ builder Rudolf von Beckerath (1907-1976).
