If you want to go back in time to an era when Catholic churches were religious artistry all around, from the architectural design, the details that gave it character to the paintings on the wall and ceilings which reinforced the true faith of Christianity as a painted story, the beauty of its stained-glass windows, this is a church I was happy to have visited! It reminds me of why I am a catholic and will remain until I die! In the present times, we need to be reminded of a time when man wanted to please its creator through these expressions of faith and inspire others after seeing its beauty!

This place is really cool as a cathedral. The architecture is very pristine. They have the gargoyles on the towers and the amount of color inside the chapel. This place is a really cool historic building that you should go visit. Even if you just go in to listen to the music it is a very pleasant experience

They were able to give my father last rights when the hospital wouldnt even consider his right to last rights through the Catholic Church. IMC charge nurse on duty about 3:30 pm in ICU WAS SO RUDE , And father Dominic talked to her and treated my father with the dignity he deserves, so thank you Father Dominic. God bless you. And your timely arrival before my father passed away.

We had a 4 and a half hour layover at SLC and decided to check out some of the area. We stopped by here and this cathedral is beautiful! I highly recommend going by and looking at the architecture and the paintings inside

This place is a must see if you are in Salt Lake City. Beautiful stained glass and wonderful historic architecture.

Its a nice place to go to and the history about is nice and the architectural is amazing

More than 110 years old , this Roman Catholic Church stands rock solid . The architecture is very intricate and beautiful

Glorious traditional cathederal, a SLC gem. The details of the iconography are splendid and there is Crown of Thorn plants out in front of church. The stainglass and Gargoyles are not to be missed!

The beauty of this building is unlike any other in Utah. Just walking around outside impressed me immensely. It was was worth the visit.

Artwork (frescoes) are very beautiful and inspiring- loved volunteering at the Cathedral when I lived in Salt Lake City from October 1989 until October 2009 as an airline employee a catechism instructor and a Mom. It is a wonderful parish and an amazing place to be a part of now -even as just a visitor!

This church is one o f the most beautiful church I have seen friendly atmosphere and great staff they helped us allot

Very beautiful, went for mass and their choir is just very impeccable in sound. It’s seems a little small, expected it to be muuch bigger (yes like a stadium) :) but it is very beautiful and very calming.

Amazing Catholic cathedral. Must see and hear a concert there even Id you are not catholic. Amazing place for daily mass. Very welcoming and friendly. Busy on typical holidays but general mass is not super packed. Friday mass is best!

Grand, historic place of worship. Amazing interior and exterior architecture.

I feel weird rating a church haha but I love attending mass there

Beautiful Catholic cathedral. Interesting art, as the stations of the cross and main paintings are done with as Hispanics or Native Americans.

I was surprised by this magnificent catholic church located in this Mormon capital city. When I visited this cathedral, there was a mass, therefore, I did not get in to pay a visit. But, I did enjoy the ringing of cathedral bell and their singing of choir.

A prayerful and beautiful, traditional style Roman Catholic Cathedral. An excellent online tour can be seen on YouTube, A Protestant Tours a Catholic Cathedral.

Nice stop if you are around the neighborhood. Wouldn’t go out of your way to go here. It is a great experience when you get to go inside. Great architectural wonder.

What an amazing church. There is not a spot that you look that doesnt take your breath away. Was so happy that we made the stop. We parked over in temple parking, ate lunch at the Lion Pantry which validates for 3 hours, walked over to the church. If you are visiting SLC get the connect pass and check out the attractions

Beautiful cathedral in the heart of Salt Lake City. Definitely a must see when in SLC.

Spectacular cathedral for an amazing mission diocese in SLC. Props to the priests and bishop for keeping the liturgy fairly traditional.

Cathedral of the Madeline is an amazing church in the heart of Salt Lake City. The architecture is beautiful and the interior ceilings are breathtaking. It is a MUST see even if youre not of the Catholic faith. Quick fact, this Cathedral in Salt Lake is the only on on America named after Madeleine.

They have wonderful sermons, they have wonderful congregations and a beautiful cathedral inside and out

Im a parishioner here. Its a very welcoming community. The Cathedral Choir School children often sing for mass, which is truly astounding. The organ music is also phenomenal. Some of the mass times can run long (an hour fifteen) because of the music, but its worth it. After the 11am mass on Sundays there are donuts and coffee downstairs to encourage community.

Lovely gothic architecture, some modern touches. Serene and quiet.

Beautiful and being from California, was so happy to pray again in Gods house..

Beautiful building. Beautiful history. Beautiful congregation. Would recommend a visit.

I love to attend prayer at this church.

Definitely worth a stop. Beautiful inside.

What a tremendous place. Amazing architecture and open til 9 pm. Make sure you visit.

Good place to meditate and have solace with God

A beautiful church! Extremely ornate and a great place to see. Its quiet and serene.

Beautiful and very celestial! The Cathedral has tours and you can see the organ on the mezzanine. An awesome and serene place to visit.

Gorgeous. Everyone is so kind and welcoming

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Cathedral!!! I come here whenever I need solitude to pray and can sit in their candle room, light a candle for someone and then pray for them or pray for my own strength. Such beautiful stained glass, you can also walk into the chapel and sit and pray ... everyone is very respectful and quiet. Sometimes they play the organ and sometimes they start a ceremony (in English or Spanish). Im not a Catholic but i still find comfort in coming here to pray and find hope.

WowThis is the Most Gorgeous Church in SLC,UtahVery beautiful and Traditional Catholic Church.

Unbelievably beautiful inside and out! Literature available for a self-guided tour. One of the more beautiful Cathedrals I have visited. A must visit when in Salt Lake City.

There was grandeur from the outside of the building and I liked the solemnity too

Gorgeous building, it really feels like you are stepping into a different world. We were there for a funeral and all the people there were so kind.

Beautiful & open to the public. The architecture & stainglass is gorgeous!

The only Beautiful Cathedral in the state of Utah! I have been coming here since the mid 80s when we had Bishop Weigand. Since the 90s, they have really done a lot of restoration work inside and outside of the church. Parking can be tricky here and can be limited, so it is advised to come early. To the north of the church, there is a small lot for free church parking. Also, on the weekends, there is free street parking.

This was one of the most peaceful places I have ever been. Absolutely beautiful in every way. If you are in the area, dont miss it.

Very beautiful building. Everyone I met there was very nice. A must see if in the area

They have one of the most beautiful Catholic choirs I have ever heard. When the Bishop is present for services, usually holidays, he fills the church with laughter and it is lovely. This cathedral is not a typical looking cathedral in the sense that it does not have intricate stone carvings, or gold leaf everywhere, instead it is fairly modest looking in both size and aesthetics. However, the people and the choir easily make up for the lack of sparkle in the church. The choir is angelic and brings me to tears every time as it is spiritually moving in a big way. I do wish they had weekday noon mass. In Denver, I went to noon mass at the cathedral almost everyday and it helped me through some really difficult times. I wish that they would do that in SLC. I get that the Mormons are a huge part of the population, but we should have at least one church that offers this type of service for those of us that chose to spend lunch hour in the house of God. Even if it was just once a week on Wednesday, it would be better than nothing. I highly recommend attending high mass so that you can celebrate your faith through the incredible choir. It is life changing, soul lifting, and they will make you want to jump out of the pew and applause like crazy.

During my weeks hols in SLC and whilst having a stroll down South Temple I stopped by at this cathedral to take some pictures from the outside (didnt go inside).This is a beautiful, fine of architecture and regardless of any religion, believe this cathedral is definately worth taking a look at.

This cathedral in downtown salt lake City Utah is absolutely stunningly beautiful. It has a glorious interior filled with light, the organ is wonderful and the acoustics are fantastic. I attended a mess and the childrens choir singing and they were also spectacular. It was very moving and, well, glorious!it is obviously a very old building and the exterior is all so beautifully detailed.

Beautiful cathedral! Its worth visiting even if youre not going to mass.

Beautiful! That cathedral is a work of art. I peaked in on a wedding that was going on... everything was simply beautiful.

Perhaps overshadowed by the much larger Mormon Temple and World Headquarters complex just down the street this cathedral still stands out. As the home base for Catholicism in Utah this church provides a beautiful place of worship and tranquility.

I worked her for a few years way back. It’s changed. Went for Adoration of the blessed Sacrament then fail Mass at 5:15p. The priest is young and very good. He seems very spiritual. The place was dirty. The public restrooms were very dirt. I saw a few cockroaches going along the floor.

I grew up in this church, and its simply beautiful. The congregation is gracious and friendly and the singer does the songs/mass beautifully. The priest speaks a little daddy and i missed things at times but i enjoyed the mass altogether.

Beautiful building! Havent been inside, but hung out outside for a while and took some photos. I was a little worried I would be asked to leave but I always love driving past this place and wanted to try to capture some of it. Seriously its so nice to have a beautiful building like this instead of the imposing Mormon temples.

Great architecture and appropriate COVID-19 restrictions.

This is a must-visit for Catholics! Even if you arent Catholic, the cathedral is breath-takingly beautiful and worth a visit. The reliquary holds first class relics from Mary Magdalene, the patron saint of the cathedral.

It is a totally awesome place.

Amazing place of worship! I recommend this place even if youre not Catholic. Choir and organ performances are impressive. All of the people I have met at the cathedral of the Madeleine have been nice, and the clergyman have been knowledgeable, helpful and nice.

A Very Beautiful Catholic Church in Salt Lake City.

Very beautiful and historic! If youre not catholic or even christian its definitely a good place to visit if you like history. I have family in Portugal and seeing the architecture of this cathedral took me back to Europe! It a marvelous wonder as the rest of the city becomes modernized.

Beautiful stained glass! Went in for a visit and the volunteers were so friendly and welcoming even though I wasn’t Catholic which I really appreciated. They welcomed me to stay for mass if I wanted and encouraged me to take pictures

Very beautiful cathedral. Homily hit the heart. The assistant yesterday took special time with us and showed various areas of this church. Amazed. Wonderful to know our church community is everywhere around the world. God bless each and every one at the Cathedral.

In Salt lake City on a medical trip to Huntsman from Idaho. Most beautiful Catholic Church Ive ever been in... At a time when I needed my faith most. Blessed.

Went on a walking tour there. Gorgeous facility. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Answered all questions asked, with clarity.

Amazing and beautiful place. I come here as often as I could for mass. Holy day of obligation masses are splendid. Great organ and amazon choir.

Free food its a simple sack lunch but when u have no money, any meal is taken with gratitude. One sack per person. Isnt quite enough to fill your belly but it is something rather than nothing. Lots of homeless here so keep an eye on your belongings.

I am not Catholic, but I was impressed by the beauty of the building and the services. Gorgeous artwork and stained glass windows adorn the interior. An impressive pipe organ sits above and behind the congregation and sounds pretty incredible with the ceremonial singing. A definite must-see when visiting Salt Lake!

Beautiful church in the heart of salt lake city

Very Beautiful place

Beautiful place! Easy to get to and to park. Pamphlets explaining the history here are readily available and helpful. Celebrating Mass here was a highlight of our visit!

It was a beautiful service, Midnight Mass, I mean... It was so crowded i had to stay standing up, (or kneeling) but the place i found myself standing was right next to an angel. I took that as a good sign which told me that Im never alone....

Amazing church. Absolutely gorgeous

Stunning!!! A must see

Beautiful place to worship in. The choir is Heavenly, the deacons make eye contact with you and welcome you genuinely back! The artwork is exquisite! A total spiritual experience sor all your senses!

I love this place it is my church o go to every week

Beautiful catholic artwork!

Diverse parish with clergy who are welcoming and kind. This is a holy place with a traditional Mass, amazing music, and for the most part, acceptance of gay and lesbian congregants. You leave after service or prayer with a true sense of connection with the Divine. The Cathedral of the Madeleine is a Temple of God, true and sure.

Simply stunning! The level of detail in this building is astounding and the glasswork is gorgeous. A definite must see!

Historic building in good shape

The building is very beautiful and has a rich history. My husband is Catholic so we decided to stay for mass. The organ, while beautiful, was usually much too loud. We could not hear the Cantor while the organ was playing which was sad as he had a lovely voice. The homily was stuffy and not at all accessible. I was actually quite depressed at the end rather than uplifted. My advice would be to take the tour, but go somewhere else to celebrate mass. Here it was more like a too-loud funeral.

My Mother and father and family are Catholics and often visited the mass there on Sundays instead of St. Anns. I was always in awe of the beauty of the place and the sense that I was truly sitting in Gods house. for my entire life Ive always wanted to get married there Ive seen one wedding there that literally took my breath away.It was not a real big wedding but it just was beautiful and thats where I am getting married for sure.and my father who was very much loved by the community we had his funeral at the Cathedral because there was too many people for the church that we were going that was one of the most special and fitting places I think he would have wanted it that way it was beautiful and I want to say thanks to all the staff whom assisted us all with his funeral thank you and God bless.

This place is beautiful. Love the wall on the north side. Always feel good going there

Love this cathedral. so beautiful, and the homilies are always thought-provoking, instructive, and faithful to Church teaching.

I just went for the Christmas midnight mass. I noticed a lot of people couldnt find a seat. The building is big and beautifully decorated.

Just beautiful. The stain glass windows were amazing

Beautiful cathedral, both inside and out. Gargoyles are perched along the the outside walls and intricate stained glass and wall paintings fill the inside. This feels like an old world European church hidden in SLC. Highly recommend attending mass here or at least just coming to check out the art!

Im the 4th generation of my family to celebrate Mass there...I love this place, it is truly a house of God. Father Joe and Father Martin: you guys are da man

Loved the ambience ..very beautiful

Beautiful cathedral. I went here for a Tour that last maybe about an hour if not more. The tour guide went over the history of the church, how long it took them to build, along with the stories the stain glass tells. This tour was pretty informative to those who arent Catholic, I would recommend the tour if you want to learn more about the church and its history. They have times and dates of the tour on their website, along with a picture tour as well.

Attended organ recital. Beautiful church and you should try to catch one of the recitals.

Beautiful cathedral for the Catholic faith community in SLC. Just down the street from the Tabernacle. Great pipe organ.Big choir.

An absolute gorgeous piece of architecture, somewhere that you really need to go if you wanted to see something old historic and beautiful. Very near downtown Salt Lake, just a couple blocks South State Street and if youre cruising around seeing the sights of Salt Lake Id highly recommend it, and if youre a local and havent gone yet all I can say is what are you doing? This is something that everybody should see who spend some time and Salt Lake. Ive found it its a nice place to sit and quietly meditate as well

The choir from the choir school is absolute perfection. The organ is very assertive with beautiful sounds. The building itself is astounding in its beauty.

Beautiful Cathedral. Vespers has been some of my best experiences there

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in US. It has such beautiful ceilings and glass work rosettes.And masses both English or Spanish. (Beautifully sung as well)

My very first experience with a Catholic church service.Incredibly beautiful inside, the service my brother and I attended was embellished by the fact that the rising sun was shining through the east stained glass windows, making them glow as though they were on fire!I have much to learn, but for a first timer it was a very enjoyable experience - and the music in day cathedral was amazing!I will be leaning more about their traditions and rituals to better understand and enjoy the service.

The architectural style is remarkable; awe inspiring from the outside; beautiful inside.

We went to a Christmas concert there and we loved it. It is so pretty!

We were able to attend 2 masses (including Holy Thursday) while visiting from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The church architecture, people, choir and homilies were all SO BEAUTIFUL! We will be back next time we are able to visit!

Catholic church nice place to visit, if you are sight seeing , and of course if you want a place to worshipi in.

This grand cathedral is THE Catholic church to visit when in SLC! The greeters are tremendously kind, the service is very rich in tradition, the facility is spectacular and the choir is out of this world!
