    The flower festival and music/gallery events are for everyone, but you must walk slowly around the block and see the architecture at sunset or just before, it is amazing! Check out the history online and go to mass or an event to truly appreciate. We have for many years. Read about the history, architecture and renovation online, before you go, to enhance the experience.

    Ranked as one of the ten largest in the United States when it was completed in 1959, St. Cecilia's is the archdiocesan parish in Omaha. The beautiful high ceilings and artwork are magnificent. Every January, the art council produces a fantastic flower show with florists from all over the city creating fanciful displays according to a theme.

    The church is so big, statues are very impressive.PAINTINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Admission was free! It must of taken several years for the church too of been built.

    Located on 40th and Cummings in Omaha NE it is awe inspiring to see and tour. Can be seen from the west part of toen because it is so massive.

    We took a tour of the cathedral and it was fabulous! It has a fascinating history and contains many meaningful items. We enjoyed hearing about the architecture too.

    I have grown up in the shadow of this marvelous building. It is the closest think Omaha has to the great cathedrals of Europe. Don't miss the small chapel on the left side of the alter.

    I have been to this cathedral twice but neither time has been when they have had the flower festival. Would love to go next time they have it. The cathedral is gorgeous alone, can't imagine what it's like during the festival.

    Like seeing the great cathedrals of Europe without any language translations required. The art in the stained glass window and murals throughout are amazing!

    Beautiful Catholic Cathedral worth a stop. Situated on one of the highest spots in Omaha, the cathedral is stunning. It faces West (away from downtown) and the façade is best viewed in the afternoon. There is street parking and two small lots in front of the Cathedral.

    This is a gorgeous cathedral with a wonderful sounding organ. There are plenty of Mass times to choose from. It is located in a wonderful old neighborhood easily accessible from Dodge Street. Sermon was to the point and not too long.

    This italian-iberian inspired Roman Catholic cathedral is a grand space, a wonderland of masonry and mosaic, it is definitely an oasis of calm. the cathedral also has a really beautiful mechanical action pipe organ built by Martin Pasi, which has been featured on the American Public Media radio show Pipedreams.

    You do not have to be Catholic or a fan of cathedrals to appreciate this building. Its story alone is worth a visit. The interior, the organ and the sheer power it holds over you when you're inside is something that you have to experience for yourself. As is typical in the case of grand places, pictures really do not do the place justice, and you just have to go in yourself and look around. I came just after a mass, and was completely alone inside except for the organist, playing high above me the whole time I walked around. I'm not religious, but that was a religious experience.But behind the cathedral, in a small building that used to house the high school, is a museum. I was so shocked by how good this museum was that, even though it's free, I insisted on donating money to them. Everything is extremely well organized, clear and laid out, and it's all relevant to the cathedral and its history, including a section on the very interesting life of its architect, who also designed the Trans-Mississippi Exhibition site. Do not miss this! The cathedral has a fascinating history and the museum details everything without boring you. I was particularly interested in the story of the first Saint Cecilia's Cathedral, after a violent storm caused the church to be split in half on the eve of the Saint Cecilia festival day, November 22nd, forcing the church to hold the festival at this new cathedral and move in before work was 100% completed, as if the saint herself had become impatient with the construction, which had lagged on for years.Fascinating stuff that you would never know by just looking at the Wikipedia page. So, again, do not miss the museum.
