Golden rays of a western sun shone through the cathedral windows as we entered. I was absolutely amazed to find such great artwork in a small Kansas town. The church reminded me of something that could be seen in Chicago or New York. There are 21 major stained glass works of art and 23 smaller windows with stained glass. According to the literature available at the church, these windows are considered the most outstanding of their type in the US. The stations of the cross are also quite remarkable. Each was carved of Linden wood in the Austrian Tyrol and purchased for the cathedral in 1917. The stone for the massive pillars was brought from Indiana and Vermont.
This is truly a beautiful building and well worth the stop to see.
