The Cathedral was built by a French missionary in 1860. Today the church has grown into a 1,500-seat French-Gothic cathedral, dating from the early 20th century. It played host to Pope John Paul II in 1983 during World Youth day. Its towering frame is a work of art, with 75 stained-glass windows, ornate decor, and imported marble. It serves as the Mother Church of the Catholic faith

The complete construction of the Cathedral was done in 1912.
Denver's high society attended the 11:00 am Sunday Mass. Each Sunday morning, worshipers could see Margaret walk up the center aisle with her huge walking staff decorated with flowers and ribbons.

In 1979 Pope John Paul II named the cathedral a minor basilica -- only one of twenty-nine in this country. The term is used only for very important churches outside of Rome whose history, architecture, activities, and community service are central to the functioning of the Catholic Church. The cathedral was also honored when Pope John Paul II said Mass there in 1993.
