Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral

Rosary Cathedral is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God.
The artistry of the cathedral, with rare and precious items gathered from
every quarter of the earth, carries out a master plan with a major purpose which is glorification of God.
Truly, our Catholic cathedrals are our "Halls of Fame" dedicated to our saints and heroes of the church.
We have in this edifice is art, history and religion all rolled together.
