Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese!
Day 3: Diocese of Dodge City
I would not have figured western Kansas for a hotbed of Popery, but there you have it, 28 counties arranged into this diocese, numbering about 44,000 Catholics total. Not much more to say about it - their website spends as much time talking about Wild West days as anything else - which may not be surprising as it was formed in 1951.
They do have the first 21st century cathedral in the US, which opened in December 2001. A little too contemporary for my taste - from the outside it looks like it could be part of an outlet mall, and the inside has a theater in the round quality to it - but it's hardly the ugliest church I've ever seen.
