Along with the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Annunciation in Cape Girardeau, Missouri it is the seat of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau. HistorySt. Agnes ParishCatholicism was established in Springfield when Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick of St. Louis sent Father Graham to the area in 1866. He celebrated the first Mass in the city on March 6 in the home of William Dailey, and then went on to establish Immaculate Conception Parish.[1] The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad came through Springfield in 1870 and the number of Irish and German immigrants increased the number of Catholics. The railroad tracks also divided the city and crossing them, especially for school children, was considered dangerous. H.A. and L.S. Meyer bought a house south of the tracks at South and Elm Streets. It became St. Agnes Elementary School. The school opened with an enrollment of 35 children and the Sisters of Loretto as teachers.[1] As the Catholic population increased on the south side Bishop John J. Hogan of Kansas City was petitioned to establish a new parish to serve their needs. St. Agnes Parish was established in 1908. The parish acquired the vacant Central Congregational Church for its use until a new church could be built. The Rev. Dennis J. O’Driscoll arrived on September 18 and the parish leased the vacant Central Congregational Church for the first year. A new church was dedicated on November 24, 1910 by Bishop Thomas F. Lillis. The school was relocated to the parish property the same year. St. Agnes High School, now Springfield Catholic High School, was established in 1916. The stained glass windows of Our Lady of the Lillies and Saint Agnes were created by Stanley Uthwatt and Bernard Schahuber in 1921. In 1935 a fire in the basement of the church building destroyed the wood floor and a new concrete floor was installed. A new high school building was constructed in 1938. During World War II the old high school building was used as a U.S.O. Center. After the war it was used as a parish recreation center before it was torn down. The Solemn High Mass of Christmas in 1954 from St. Agnes was the first televised religious service from a church on Springfield.[1] St. Agnes CathedralIn 1956 Pope Pius XII established the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau.[2] St. Agnes was chosen as the new diocesan cathedral and St. Mary of the Annunciation in Cape Girardeau was chosen as the co-cathedral. St. Louis Auxiliary Bishop Charles H. Hemsing was chosen as the diocese’s first bishop and he was installed in St. Agnes Cathedral on November 28.[1] The present elementary school building was constructed in 1958. St. Agnes Chapel was added to the cathedral in 1986 when the church building underwent a major renovation. The same year the old elementary building was torn down.
