About Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
-
Our parish is a Catholic community of almost 2,600 families located in Tyler, Texas. The parish features two churches, the Cathedral itself (423. S Broadway) and the Chapel of Sts. Peter & Paul (1435 ESE Loop 323). The Mission of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is to be a compassionate and faith-filled Catholic Christian community that lives the Gospel message through worship, education, spiritual development, and to service to others. In so doing, we become examples of God's love and compassion.
The parish is dedicated to and named for the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Immaculate Conception. The common and constant teaching of the Christians through all ages, formally declared by Pope Pius IX, is that “…the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin."
