St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption

Sacred Spaces Tour by Nora Rubinoff

You don’t have to travel to Notre Dame to see a beautiful cathedral. Covington’s version was built between 1894 to 1915, and some say the church was never actually finished. One thing that was? The church’s massive transept window – the largest stained glass window in the world, at a whopping 67 feet tall by 24 feet wide. Another Cathedral secret involves the Italian carved gargoyles, all 26 of ‘em, that watch over the premises night and day.
