St. Mary's Cathedral GargoyleCam tour
Before it became an Episcopal cathedral, St. Marys was a mission church, organized in 1857 by members of Calvary Episcopal Church on the semi-rural, eastern fringe of Memphis, Tennessee, on a spot now considered to be part of Downtown. It became the cathedral church of the old statewide Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee in 1871 and later the cathedral of the Diocese of West Tennessee with the creation of the three dioceses within Tennessee in 1983.
A small wooden Gothic structure was built on a lot located at the eastern edge of the city at Poplar and Orleans, given by Robert C. Brinkley and his wife Anne Overton Brinkley. On Thanksgiving Day, 1857, the first wardens and vestry were elected and the first rector, Richard Hines, was called. It was the desire of James Otey, the First Bishop of Tennessee, that free seats and openness to all would be the policy of this church, built as a house of prayer for all people. St. Mary's Church was officially dedicated on the following Ascension Day (May 13, 1858).
In 1871, members of St. Marys presented the churchs keys to Charles Quintard, Second Bishop of Tennessee, to use as his seat or cathedral.
While the Episcopal Church in the United States was once a part of the Church of England, the American dioceses were slow to designate official cathedrals in keeping with the Protestant or Reformed character of its members. As the Oxford Movements high church or Roman Catholic-style liturgy and beliefs finally began to take root in the U.S., Episcopal cathedrals began to appear. With a devoted high churchman as its bishop, the Diocese of Tennessee was among the earliest in America (possibly the first in the South) to designate one of its parishes as a cathedral.
Construction of its present English Gothic Revival structure began in 1898 and was completed in 1926.
Martyrs and the Cathedral
St. Mary's is closely associated with two episodes of martyrdom known throughout the world. Both episodes dramatically reduced the size of St. Mary's congregation, either through death or controversy.
Constance and Her Companions:
Memphis suffered periodic epidemics of yellow fever, a mosquito-borne viral infection, throughout the 19th century. The worst of the epidemics occurred in the summer of 1878, when 5,150 Memphians died. Five years earlier, a group of Episcopal nuns from the recently formed Sisterhood of St. Mary arrived in Memphis to operate the St. Mary's School for Girls, which was relocated to the cathedral site. When the 1878 epidemic struck, a number of priests and nuns (both Protestant and Catholic), doctors, and even the proprietress of a bordello stayed behind to tend to the sick and dying. The Episcopal nuns' superior, Sister Constance, three other Episcopal nuns, and two Episcopal priests are known throughout the Anglican Communion as Constance and Her Companions or the Martyrs of Memphis. Added to the Episcopal Church's Lesser Feasts and Fasts in 1981, their feast day (September 9) commemorates their sacrifices.
Martin Luther King, Jr.:
The second historic/tragic event that St. Mary's Cathedral attempted to mitigate was the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The day after King's death, Memphis clergy from many churches and synagogues met at the cathedral. In an impromptu move, Dean William Dimmick (later Bishop of Northern Michigan) took up the Cathedral's processional cross and led many of the assembled ministers down Poplar Avenue to City Hall to petition Mayor Henry C. Loeb to end the labor standoff that King was in town to help negotiate. Nearly half of the Cathedral's membership eventually left in protest of Dimmick's gesture of racial unity.

Getting High in Wisconsin - Part IV
Originally known as the First Wisconsin Center, the US Bank Center in Milwaukee is Wisconsin's tallest building, at 601 feet and 42 stories.
During a citywide event called Doors Open Milwaukee on September 24, 2011, the US Bank Center allowed visitors to view the landscape from the building's observation deck, which has only rarely been opened to the public since the building was constructed in the early 1970s.
Landmarks visible from the observation deck (and in this video) include the Milwaukee City Hall (which was Wisconsin's tallest building until 1973), Miller Park, the Mitchell Park Domes, Summerfest grounds, the Allen-Bradley clock tower (featuring the world's largest 4-faced clock), McKinley Marina, Old St. Mary's Church, Basilica of St. Josaphat, and St. Stanislaus Church.
Many other buildings can be seen in the video; feel free to identify them in the comments section, below.

Holy Hill Bell Ringing
The Bell Tower, a twin to the scenic tower, contains two bells which can be seen atop this tower.
Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians is a Roman Catholic shrine in the north central United States, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The centerpiece of the shrine is a minor basilica. It is located in the town of Erin, near Hubertus, Wisconsin, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The shrine has approximately 300,000 visitors per year.
The name Holy Hill was first given to the place by Irish settlers in the area. Father George Strickner dedicated a log chapel as the first Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians on May 24, 1863. A set of wooden crosses were placed for the Stations of the Cross in 1875. In the winter of 1879, Fr. Raess sent a proposal to Archbishop John Henni to construct a new shrine to Mary. Construction began that spring. Pilgrims began flocking to the shrine, and it was decided that a religious order should administer the shrine. A group of Discalced Carmelites came from Bavaria at the invitation of Archbishop Sebastian Messmer, and the Shrine of Mary was put under their care on June 26, 1906. The building now known as the Old Monastery Inn and Retreat Center was completed in 1920. The second shrine was removed in 1925 so that a third shrine could be built. The cornerstone of the third and present shrine was placed by Archbishop Messmer on August 22, 1926. The present church was completed and consecrated in 1931.
Please be aware that Holy Hill is a NO FLY ZONE - drones are strictly prohibited.
Please maintain a respectful silence in the Basilica and chapels - Everyone in the church is there to pray and worship. Maintain a respectful silence, talking quietly when necessary. Behavior in the sanctuary should always be respectful and reverent towards God and towards one another.
Sister Theodora Regnet Memorial Video
Obituary:
In Memory
Sister Mary Theodora Regnet
Of the Devine Providence
January 26, 1923 -- May 8, 2014
Sister Mary Theodora was born in Mittersthal, Bayern, Germany on January 26, 1923 to parents Thomas and Eleonora (Wittmann) Regnet and was given the name Theresia Regnet. She had one brother and one sister. She grew up on a farm and was in charge of feeding the geese already when she was in the 2nd grade.
Theresia joined the Congregation of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother on April 22, 1946 in Abenberg, Germany when she was 23 years old. On March 19, 1947 she was admitted to the novitiate and was given a new name, Mary Theodora. On March 19, 1949 she professed First Vows in Abenberg. Sister came to the United States in 1949 and resided at Mother of Sorrows Convent in Milwaukee, WI. She received her citizenship in 1955.
Sister Theodora professed Final Vows on August 12, 1954. She celebrated her Silver Jubilee in 1974; her Golden Jubilee in 1999; and her 60th Jubilee in 2009.
Sister did domestic work at school convents where Sisters were teaching in Eagle, WI; Phillips, WI; and Milwaukee, WI. She worked at Mercy Hospital in Food Service in Oshkosh, WI and later at St. Joseph Hospital in Food Service in Marshfield, WI.
Besides completing her High School, Sister Theodora earned an Associate Degree in Applied Science (Restaurant and Hotel Cookery).
Sister Theodora's favorite activity was baking. She loved to bake sweet rolls and bread. The Sisters always looked forward to getting Sister Theodora's fresh baked goods. She also loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. Sister Theodora sang in Our Lady of Good Hope Parish Choir in Milwaukee and also sang in the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother Franciscan Chords Choir.
Sister came to SSM Franciscan Courts when it first opened on
October 17, 1989. She continued to bake her famous sweet rolls and baked goods as long as she was able.
Some other things Sister Theodora enjoyed were knitting mittens for the missions, playing Bingo, and singing and praying in chapel.
Sister Theodora was well prepared for her journey to her heavenly home. She had been anointed by our chaplain, Fr. William Kuhr. Sister Frances Meyer sat with her and prayed with her the last couple of days when it was apparent that she was in the dying process. Other Sisters came to her room and prayed for as well. Sister Theodora breathed her last in the presence of Sisters, Frances Meyer, Helen Marie Brand, Leonilda Nieberle, Mary Michel Malolepsy, and staff.
Sister Theodora will be missed by all the Sisters, staff, SSM Associates, and volunteers.
The day of the funeral was a rainy, stormy day. When we went to the burial it was raining a lot. There were about eleven of us gathered at the site. As Fr. Bill (William Kuhr) prayed the last prayer it was pouring raining, so Fr. Bill blest the rain as it came down in place of sprinkling Holy Water.
Homecoming Service (wake) for Sister Theodora was on May 11, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. in the chapel at SSM Franciscan Courts. The Mass of Resurrection was on May 12, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. with Fr. William Kuhr officiating. The burial was at Riverside Cemetery.
