Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Wichita

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Wichita

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is the first Catholic Church in Wichita. It was designed in 1909 by Emmanuel Masqerey and represents Basilica architectural style. The church was dedicated in 1912; this is evidenced by the row of pillars at the main entrance. The interior is large and there are four different colors of sandstone. The stained-glass windows recall the prophet Isaiah. The exterior of the building was renovated but the details of its decoration did not change. There is also a religious education center and a former school canteen providing children with the possibility of learning.
