NCC Touring Choir Trip to St. Louis - Day 2 (5/1), Cathedral Basilica


After the zoo, the touring choir boarded the busses and traveled to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. This is the 2nd largest Cathedral in the United States - the largest is located in Washington D.C.

Unfortunately, since the busses let us out in the back of the Cathedral, I didn't get a picture of the front of it.

As part of our visit there, our group was given a tour of the Cathedral which included seeing the significant areas of the Cathedral Basilica, all of the history of how it was built and information about all of the mosaic artwork that adorns the walls and ceilings of the building.

The touring choir also had the opportunity to give a concert while visiting - the acoustics inside were incredible and it was a very neat experience for the children to sing in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.

I couldn't resist including this nice pic of Miss K with one of her good choir friends
