Archbishop John Glennon began building this beautiful cathedral in 1907. Its unique design combines architecture of the Romanesque style on the exterior with an amazingly beautiful Byzantine-style interior. This "New Cathedral", as the locals call it, contains the largest mosaic collection in the world; it was created by 20 different artists and covers 83,000 square feet. The installation, which contains almost 42 million pieces of glass tesserae in more than 7,000 colors, began in 1912 and was completed in 1988. The Mosaic Museum, on the lower level of the cathedral, provides additional information on the church's construction and the installation of the artwork. The Cathedral Shop, located on the west side of the vestibule, stocks postcards and books that provide detailed information on the history of the church. Visitors are encouraged to tour the cathedral on their own whenever there is not a service or ceremony in progress. In 1997, during his visit to St Louis, Pope John Paul II gave the designation of "Cathedral Basilica" to the cathedral.
Daily Mass is held at the Cathedral Basilica, Monday through Friday, at 7am, 8am and 12:05pm. Saturday Mass is held at 8am and 5pm. Sunday Mass is held 4 times at 8am, 10am, 12pm and 5pm.
