The cathedral nave and offices are opened from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. Closed on holidays.

At this time the main doors of the cathedral remain locked during the day. To access the cathedral for quiet prayer and reflection or just to have a look around, come to the office entrance: the doors labelled Hoerster Annex off the lower lot on the south side of the cathedral building. If the office doors are locked, ring the door bell.

Almost the entire building is fully accessible via the elevator, located near the Hoerster Annex entrance. For step-free access to the main front doors into the cathedral nave, use the ramp on the left side of the patio steps as you enter the cathedral (i.e. closest to the south parking lot).

Please note that the docent-led cathedral tour, usually offered on the last Sunday of the month, is cancelled on January 26, 2025 due to the Annual Parish Meeting. The next opportunity will be February 23.
