The Twin Cities

The Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis are incredibly rich and diverse cities with dramatic skylines, exciting pro sports, award-winning theaters, renowned restaurants and a booming craft beer scene. Whether you are a music-lover, avid biker, or love hiking—there is something for everyone. Minnesota is home to 66 state parks, 10,000 lakes, and historic music venues famous for their live music. We enjoy all four seasons, and, while you have likely heard of our snowy winters, we also enjoy beautiful summers and vibrant falls.

The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis _ ****
_ ** _
_**Many are surprised to discover that the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis—shepherded by Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda—is home to over 700,000 Catholics and a robust Catholic community. You'll have no problem finding a parish to call home. Beautiful and historic churches dot a path from the urban core to the rural boundaries of the archdiocese but none more beautiful than the Cathedral of Saint Paul and the Basilica of Saint Mary—consistently ranked in the top 10 of most beautiful churches in the United States. 24-hour adoration and daily confessions are commonplace at our parishes thanks to our faithful priests, on fire for the Lord. Lay apostolates abound in the land of lakes. Saint Paul's Outreach and NET Ministries call Saint Paul home. The Catholic Studies department at the University of Saint Thomas is oldest and largest of its kind. Young adult groups like Theology on Tap, Catholic Beer Club, and Catholic Softball League make it easy to find your people. Come see for yourself why many come but few leave the lively Catholic community of the Twin Cities.
