Sep 11, 2010 · St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. September 11, 2010 by Bridgett Raffenberg. It’s Day 155 of “ 365 Things to do in Cincinnati ” and today we headed just a bit south of the city to take in the incredible architectural beauty that is the Cathedral Basilica in Covington.
The Cathedral of the Assumption is a vivid translation of the French High Gothic. The Most Reverend Camillus Paul Maes, third bishop of Covington, undertook the building of a new cathedral to replace Covington, Kentucky, which sits directly across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, has been the seat of the diocese since 1853.
The project began in 1894 and ended in 1915, incomplete. Though largely unfinished even today, the Cathedral is a monument which speaks of the faith and determination of the Bishop and the community. It is an art and architectural monument to be treasured for centuries by people everywhere.
