Gorgeous architecture in and out and inside the mausoleum below. Enjoy some quiet contemplation in this lovely place. Kudos to all involved on any level as it appears to be a place engaging the community on many levels.

Can I say BEAUTIFUL?! This church (or should I say cathedral) evokes feelings of serenity, peace and light. We didn't come here for a regular service, actually was our friends' wedding, and with a small intimate crowd, felt even more cozy. We're gonna have to come back.

Serene and magical place to rest and contemplate life. Stunning cathedral with mausoleum that feels sacred. The space is so intentional. (Nice bathrooms and drinking fountain.) Free tour weekdays at 1pm.

Free to enter and take photos as long as service isn't happening. Great architectural features throughout the site. The interior is majestic and I recommend you take the time to take it all in. There is also a gift shop which is recommended. Be respectful of the space and enjoy!

LAST YEAR I VISITED THE CATHEDRAL STORE AND BOUGHT COINS. THEY HAD ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS’ IN FOUR LANGUAGES. THE COIN I REALLY WANTED WAS THE OTHER COIN IN THE LITTLE CASE WHICH MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT ‘FRIENDS’. CAN THEY BE SENT TO ME?

Absolutely they'll take a credit card over the phone and they're so nice they'll even paw through the spindle of coins to find you the right one 👼

What are mass times for ash Wednesday

Jeff Miller | Sep 4, 2018
DonHugo Opina | Sep 4, 2018

There is one nain mass, right after 11 an confession time, mass starts at noon. Stay around and visiti the chappels on the side, pray a decade of the Rosary there. Ash Wednesday is and all day event. If church is not open in your local parish, ring the office, usually there is always volunteering.... usually a priest, but times are harsh... pray for vocations, and pray to encourage liders in church to embrace those vocations....Ash Wednesday is a symbol, an act, and a perseverance act.

For the Cathedral it should be 8am Vietnamese. 10 am (SOLEM MASS) English. 12 noon Tagalog, and 2pm Spanish. At NIGHT: 7pm Vietnamese, 10 PM SOLEMN MASS (Bishop Barber celebrates) where the Orchestra and the Men & Boys Choir will be signing. Blessings.
