We welcome you to visit the Cathedral of Saint Paul any day of the week, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you visit during a Mass or another liturgical celebration, we ask that you stay to the perimeter of the Cathedral and refrain from taking photos.
We also invite you to learn the story of the heroic immigrants and skilled artisans who built this magnificent landmark church on the hill. We offer many tour options to fit your schedule and interests. Best of all, all tour proceeds support the Cathedral of Saint Paul.
