Within the past year, hundreds and hundreds of visitors have come to Holy Family Cathedral.
Some people have come because of the Route 66 Anniversary. Others have made pilgrimages to see the Cathedral or to venerate the relics. Last week, three religious sisters traveling from Arizona to Nebraska chose a route through Tulsa just because they heard the church is beautiful.
You expect Gothic cathedrals to appear somewhere in Europe, not rising dramatically out of Oklahoma. Then suddenly you’re standing beneath towering arches and glowing stained glass wondering how this place isn’t on every travel bucket list already.
