Holy Family Cathedral is the mother and head church for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa in Eastern Oklahoma. It is a beautiful neo-Gothic edifice built in 1914, and recently renovated. Masses are celebrated everyday either in the Cathedral Church or the Chapel of Peace located in the basement. Our Whole Family Faith Formation Program, called Wednesdays at the Cathedral, begins each Wednesday with an affordable dinner at 5:30pm and then the different programs for youth, teens, and adults run from 6:30 - 8:00pm. Tours of the church are available upon advanced request.

The Cathedral is my parish and I am there at lest three times per week. The building itself exudes an atmosphere of spirituality and prayer.

Art-deco National Historic Landmark.
Reviewed By MidwestKathM - Detroit, United States
Knowing Tulsa's reputation for its Art Deco architecture, we wanted to see a few examples. This is one of the best! A church built around 1930, it is a stunning building made of Indiana limestone and Minnesota granite. Walk around and look up!! Bring your binoculars or camera telephoto lens so that you can see the top of the towers and the beautiful details of the statuary. Unfortunately due to COVID, we were unable to go inside the church building.

5. Trinity Episcopal Church
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 9 reviews
Trinity Episcopal Church has been called the best example of Gothic architecture west of the Mississippi River. With vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows and ornate carvings, it is beyond compare in the region. Trinity was built before statehood with the expectation that there would be two Episcopal Dioceses in the state. As it happened, only one Diocese encompasses the entirety of the state but Trinity's grandeur is a jewel in Tulsa's crown.
