Which Memphis-area house of worship do you find most beautiful, spiritual, sacred? And why?

A few years ago I was preparing (as a visiting priest) for a wedding rehearsal at the Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The fraternity and sorority friends of the bride and groom had arrived by chartered bus and entered the church together. I watched as they lingered at the entrance, in awe of the majesty and beauty of the worship space. Despite its solemnity, it is very warm and hospitable. I’m always proud to be part of a diocesan or parish event at the Cathedral.
