Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour
The Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour in Faribault is the oldest cathedral in Minnesota. Built 1862 - 1869, it was the first church in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America designed as a cathedral. On August 10, 1979, the cathedral and its guild house were added to the National Register of Historic Places. Our Merciful Saviour was founded by Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple, who is buried beneath the altar.
St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral
In 1941, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Minneapolis was dedicated as the seat of the bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, but the Cathedral of Our Merciful Saviour retains its status as a full cathedral as well.
