- Masses--Mon-Wed 12:10 PM Saturday 5 PM Sunday 9AM St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows is a Nashville landmark and one of the first Catholic Church buildings constructed in Tennessee. The church served as the second Cathedral of the Diocese of Nashville from 1847-1914. The oldest extant church building in downtown Nashville, St. Mary's dates to 1844-47. Its architect was Adolphus Heiman, a German immigrant who designed several major Nashville buildings, including the State Asylum, during the late antebellum era. Heiman chose a Greek Revival temple style for St. Mary's, which features a gable front entrance of two fluted Ionic columns supporting a classical pediment. Richard Pius Miles, O.P. (1791-1860), the first Catholic Bishop of Nashville, is primarily responsible for the construction of St. Mary's. Consecrated bishop at Bardstown, Kentucky in 1838, Miles arrived in Nashville that same year and was the only Catholic priest in the state of Tennessee. He led the state s growing Ca tholic until his death in 1860, when he was buried beneath the cathedral.

This is the oldest Catholic church in Nashville. Small and richly colored, it offers daily Masses at lunchtime for those who work or live downtown. Parking can be an issue but there is a pay lot which is free during Mass times.
