Description
The Cathedral of the Epiphany had its beginnings as St. Mary's Church in 1891. Rev. Timothy Treacy was the parish's first pastor. The new parish was intended to serve the needs of a growing number of Catholics who lived in the central part of the city. Many of the parishioners were Irish and German immigrants. Building a new church had to be postponed, however, because of the economic depression that hit the United States in 1892.
For the next 10 years parishioners worshipped in the basement of the present church. When the Diocese of Sioux City was established in 1902, it was decided that St. Mary's Church would serve as the cathedral. Work to complete the upper church was begun at this time. Bishop Philip Garrigan, Sioux City's first bishop, sought permission from the Holy See to change the name of the parish.[1] The building was dedicated, without its signature spires, on September 8, 1904 as the Cathedral of the Epiphany.
