St Michael's Episcopal Cathedral

In 1864, Reverend Saint Michael Fackler arrived in Boise, performing the first episcopal service in the region.

Now, more than a century later, St. Michael's Episcopal Cathedral has become an important part of the community, helping to shape the city we know and love today.

Missy Swajkoski with St. Michael's Episcopal Cathedral and Beth Toal, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the church's history.
