Ceremony Info

Sacred Heart became the Cathedral of the new Pueblo Diocese on November 15, 1941. The church was renovated in 1988 to repair structural damage, update the heating/cooling system, provide a restroom and a handicap entrance. The restoration revived treasures of stained glass and Gothic architecture. The U.S Dept. of Interior placed the Cathedral on the National Register of Historic Places on February 6, 1989. A hail storm damaged the stained glass windows and were restored in 2007. In 2009, lightning struck the steeple and the upper half of the steeple was replaced. The Rectory was refurbished in 2011. Also in 2011, "The Friends of the Cathedral" provided updated lighting and additions to the sound system in the church.
