Thousands of visitors come to the Cathedral every year. While mostly from the United States, each year there are a significant number of international visitors. They come in small and large groups, as individuals and families, young and old, and from a wide variety of faiths.

Visitors are welcome during the regular open hours of the Cathedral. We do ask that during liturgies visitors sit quietly if they are not participating in the liturgy. Visitors may enter via the North side entrance.

Visitors are welcome during our regular open hours. These hours are changed at times because of special liturgies or because the Cathedral is closed due to a holiday or holy day.
