Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes

Went to mass here this morning. The service was as beautiful as the church. I was fortunate and honored to meet and shake hands with the bishop of the Spokane, WA Diocese. ❤️🥰 was a very special Sunday

Beautiful cathedral in the historic center of Spokane. They did a beautiful job maintaining it. I love the stain glass windows and the marble on the altar. Reminds me of the churches in Europe. More importantly, the faith community is strong, very kind and respectful. We attended Assumption Day mass. Their website is maintained well with bulletins and announcements which helped a lot for us being from out of town. Parking can be an issue if you arrive early, but they do have their own parking available that they open about 15min prior to mass. Pews were comfortable and spacious.

Very welcoming to all faiths, beautiful 9 AM Sunday service with a live choir and organ music. If you aren't going for mass, I would recommend visiting to see the exquisite stained glass.

As a new comer to the Catholic faith for whom this Cathedral is my nearest church, it has quickly become a place of peace and hope in my heart through attending mass and OCIA class. I feel blessed to have this church near my home to learn at and get closer to God.

Love that they have an evening service at 5:00 p.m. 🫶 Visiting from another city in Washington. Very pleasant Sunday Mass service.

The music at the 11 o’clock Sunday Mass is absolutely and consistently transcendent. The organ pulses through the building, the trumpet adds a bright sound and the choir makes it all heavenly. Better yet, it’s all for the glory of God and aids my prayer and praise at Mass! Jesus wants to meet you there for sure!! There is a concert series there, too; check the website, you won’t be disappointed because the Spokane Cathedral contends with some of the other fine cathedrals I’ve been to around the world renowned for their beautiful music.

I’m visiting the city and attended Sunday Mass. The bulletin made it so easy to participate, it had everything. Very thoughtful to have this guide in the bulletin! The architecture is so detailed.

Come here to find Jesus, to return to Jesus, or to go deeper in your faith as you discover the fullness of Christianity in the holy Catholic church.

No, this is not my local cathedral! When I have the inclination I will pop into St Peter's in the Vatican City for a dose of Catholic liturgy. However, this comes in a close fourth place behind Notre Dame (Paris) and the Sacre Coeur on Montmartre. The wedding we attended here was wonderful. The bride and groom were both glowing with happiness. The cathedral was resplendent with a plethora of poinsettias. The cathedral went all out for Christmas so it had a really festive feel to it. Definitely a plus when holding a wedding in the snow! We loved listening to the bells ringing at the end of the service.

Beautiful church; grumpy priest. I don't want to dog religion too much, but I do need to mention the grumpiness of one of the priests there. And I believe he's the main guy. Just to keep it short. I went into confession in a desperate state. Tearful and down; depressed. The priest told me I'm not ready for confession because I had not gone through catechism. At that time I just needed somebody to talk to; I felt rejected. That's the feeling I got, rejection. He saw me crying, but that did not matter to him - I was just not ready for confession. I visited the church on several more occasions, and decided to take the host. I was told by somebody, a devout Catholic, that I could do that, if I had confessed beforehand. Which I did. The Saturday prior to this Sunday's mass. Again, to make it short. Upon receiving the host from this priest, I got a scowl from his face. Not inviting, to say the least.

A beautiful cathedral! There was a trumpet player accompanying the organist at mass, and it was an overall lovely experience. The church itself is beautiful and historical, and the priest gave a great homily.
