In our travels, we've learned to step inside grand old church buildings when we can -- we like the history and architecture. Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception provides beautiful surroundings for quiet reflection. We loved the design, colors, statues, organ, and stained glass windows. Be sure to respect the mass service or the presence of anyone there to pray. Those... More

Made it a point to attend mid-day mass there, what a blessing? This is not a church, but a real cathedral. The two wooden entrance doors must weigh a ton apeice. Was so inspired that my wife and I made the stations of the cross, even thougth we had just done so last week at home. Parking is easy, just... More

If you're in downtown Mobile and have a few minutes to spare, check out this beautiful cathedral. Gorgeous stained glass windows, beautiful ceiling, impressive pipe organ, and beautiful statues at the back of the cathedral. A few rows back on the left side there's a spiral staircase that goes down one level. There you'll see a couple of statues and... More

I was visiting downtown mobile for the day and as I walked by outside this gorgeous building it sounded like angels singing inside. I had to go in. Pictures don't do it justice. It is amazingly beautiful and breathtaking inside. Must see.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is a lovely church. Church has a lot of history & is quite a piece of art. Recommend checking this out if you are in the downtown area. Perfect for anyone; religious/nonreligious or Catholic/nonCatholic.

The place is really nice, the Cathedral Square that is outside plus the inside are just great place to go. Then you can have some food and tea at the Spot of Tea just in front.

I love visiting the Catholic cathedrals. This is a very nice one. While I have seen fancier ones I was thrilled with the stained glass windows. Each one was different and when the sun shines through them they are great. Some places I have been the sun never hit the windos. Here they all glow. It is next to a... More

We enjoyed touring the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception during a 3 day visit to Mobile. Weekday Mass is 7:50 AM and 12:10 PM, and we toured the facility after the noon mass was over. An architectural gem in the heart of Mobile, a lovely sanctuary with beautiful stained glass, and pleasant gardens. A highlight of our stay in... More
