St. Helena Cathedral was constructed at the turn of the century during the episcopate of Bishop John Carroll. It is an outstanding example of Geometric Gothic architecture, patterned after the Votive Church of the Sacred Heart in Vienna, Austria. 68 Stained glass windows made in Munich, Germany, white marble altars, statues carved of the purest Carrara marble, and genuine gold leaf decorates the sanctuary. The pews and woodwork are all done in hand carved oak. The magnificent lighting fixtures are of hand-forged bronze with a special lacquer finish. Outside, majestic twin spires rise 230 feet above the street. Like most Gothic churches of this style the interior of the church is shaped like a large cross.
St. Helena Cathedral is open year-round, daily from 7:15am - 6:00pm and is located approximately 2 miles west of Interstate 15 off of 11th Avenue at Warren and Lawrence Streets.
This letterbox can be found behind the Statue of St. Paul. St. Paul is one of 6 statues located near the large main doors at the West entrance under the large “rose” window. St. Paul is the closest statue to the door when facing the door. There is just enough room behind St. Paul to fit this letterbox, and cannot be seen unless you are looking for it so be careful not to let anyone spot you or the box please be discreet when retrieving and re-hiding this letterbox! (NOTE: you may wish to avoid searching for this box during mass times when you are most likely to be spotted.)
