Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour in Faribault is the oldest cathedral in Minnesota, built 1862 - 1869. The architect was James Renwick, Jr., who also designed St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and the Smithsonian Institution Building in Washington. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was founded by Henry Benjamin Whipple, the first bishop of Minnesota in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. He is buried beneath the altar. In 1941, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Minneapolis was dedicated as the seat of the bishop, but the Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour retains its status as a full cathedral as well.
