Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

Modern Catholic co-cathedral completed in 2008 — a pale limestone facade and a tall freestanding bell tower set against the downtown skyline at the southern edge of downtown.

What works here

The bell tower shot from the St Joseph Pkwy sidewalk frames the tower against the skyline. Interior is vast and bright but photography is restricted around Mass — visit mid-weekday and ask at the office.

Lighting

East-facing facade catches morning sun; the pale stone blows out in harsh midday light.

Crowd

Low outside Mass times
