Destination Marker #23 - St. Joseph's
About this Tour Stop...
The bell was first rung in 1889 and has watched the City grow from a prairie village to a major city from its steeple perch. If you’re lucky, you may be able to hear the Old Bell ring in the steeple of St. Joseph’s. St. Joseph Catholic Church stands on the site of a wooden church constructed in 1889. The present building opened in 1904 and became the first cathedral in Oklahoma in 1905. Heavily damaged by the Murrah Bombing, it reopened in 1997 and is the site of the “And Jesus Wept” sculpture.
