St. Mary's Catholic Church. Park City, Utah.

This is the beautiful St. Mary's Catholic Church in Park City, Utah.   The Church is obviously of relatively recent construction, although I don't know the vintage.

St. Mary's Catholic Church, Clearmont Wyoming

This is St. Mary's Catholic Church in the small town of Clearmont, Wyoming. This Mission church is served by the Catholic Parish in Buffalo, Wyoming. Clearmont itself is a small ranching town. The church was built in 1919.

Immaculate Conception Church, Rapid City South Dakota

This is Immaculate Conception Church (formerly chapel) in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. This Catholic church is somewhat unique for the region in that it says its masses, one daily and one on Sunday morning, in Latin, using the Tridentine Mass.

The church obviously once had another name, as the corner stone reveals, which appears to have been St. Mary's, but I do not know the history of this particular church.

St. Mary's Cathedral, Cheyenne Wyoming

This is the Roman Catholic Cathedral for the Diocese of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Located in downtown Cheyenne, the cornerstone was laid in 1907 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1909.

This Roman Catholic Cathedral is a contemporary, in terms of construction, to the Cathedral of the Madeline in Salt Lake City, Utah. I noted this as the Cathedral of the Madeline, at least according to its corner stone, was originally called St. Mary's Cathedral. In early 20th Century terms Salt Lake and Cheyenne were quite some distance away, but that distance could still be traveled in a day on the Union Pacific, so it's interesting to note that two St. Mary's Cathedrals were being constructed in the region at the same time.

The Cathedral is on a block called "Cathedral Square", which is located across the street in one direction from the Joseph C. O'Mahoney Federal Courthouse and, in another direction, from the Wyoming Supreme Court. It is about two blocks away from the Wyoming State Capitol.

Cathedral of the Madeline, Salt Lake City Utah

Some cell phone and compact digital photographs of the impressive Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Madeline in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This impressive Cathedral was started in 1900, and completed in 1909. In some ways, it is representative of the significant Irish presence in the area which started in this time period, as Irish immigrants arrived in the Salt Lake area to work as miners. As can be see, while it is now known as the Cathedral of the Madeline, the corner stone indicates that it was at least built as St. Mary's Cathedral, which of course is consistent. It's interesting to note, however, that this Roman Catholic cathedral was under construction at the same time that St. Mary's Cathedral in Cheyenne Wyoming was, so two Roman Catholic Cathedrals by that name were under construction in the same region, at the same time.
