Churches & worship in Downtown Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Downtown Duluth neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Downtown Duluth is served by 6 congregations, including Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Episcopal and Roman Catholic traditions. Where a congregation has its own record in the guide, its name links through to it.
The nearest active Lutheran congregation to downtown, at 219 North 6th Avenue East, six blocks up the hill in the Central Hillside.
The large downtown-adjacent Lutheran congregation at 1100 East Superior Street, about half a mile northeast at the East Hillside edge.
The nearest Episcopal congregation, at 1710 East Superior Street about eight minutes northeast, and one of the finest church buildings in the city.
Gothic Revival, built 1912 to 1914 to a design by Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson of New York.
The diocesan seat at 2801 East 4th Street, about eight minutes northeast. Note the name: locally it is usually called Holy Rosary Cathedral, but the Diocese of Duluth's own name for it is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Italianate stone cathedral completed 1957, replacing the former Sacred Heart Cathedral downtown.
Historic congregation at 2310 East 4th Street, up the hill northeast of downtown. Do not publish as a place to attend until a denominational source confirms it.
English Gothic by Frederick German and Leif Jenssen, first used September 24, 1917.
Carried for the record rather than as a place to attend. It is a landmark on the Central Hillside shoulder above downtown and one of the best rooms for acoustic music in the region.
Duluth's former Roman Catholic cathedral, a century-old stone church at 201 West 4th Street with its original pipe organ.
Service times change, confirm with each congregation.
