Visit the Cathedral

General Visiting Hours

The Cathedral may be visited throughout the day.  Care should be taken not to disturb those at prayer, especially those at Mass or in Adoration. For that reason, in planning your visit we suggest that you consult our weekly schedule.  Holy Days and liturgies (like funerals) do affect this schedule. Please contact the parish office before a visit, especially if travel is involved.
