that would be a fitting monument to our Father God -
a tribute to the Diocese and the city of Helena.
This was a project that had been dear to the heart of
Bishop Brondel, the first bishop in Helena.
In 1905, the land for the Cathedral was purchased by Thomas Cruse.
Thomas Cruse was a placer gold miner
who had made his fortune in Marysville at
the Drumlummon Mine.
He was the largest single contributor to the Cathedral project,
although there were many contributors throughout western Montana
as the community raised this beautiful structure....

The corner stone, of Indiana Bedford limestone, was laid on
October 4, 1908. Mr. A.O. Von Herbulis of Washington, D.C.,
was chosen to be the architect for the Cathedral.
The architectural style of the building is modeled in its general
lines after the gothic Votive Church in Vienna.
The two tower doors of equal size are 8 feet wide and
11 feet 6 inches high.
They are crowned with three rims of arches, delicately carved
in oak leaf, and resting on graceful columns.
Majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the Warren Street
sidewalk and these are topped by gold-leafed crosses which
measure 6 by 12 feet.
In the north belfry there are the chimes of 15 handcast bells
weighing thousands of pounds. The project was
completed in time for service on Christmas Day 1914.
The St. Helena Cathedral is open year-round,
from 10:00am - 4:00pm.
Daily Mass is held in the Day Chapel on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday at 8:00am; and on Tuesday and Thursday, 5:20pm.
Pre-arranged guided tours take 1 hour.
