Planning a Visit

Come and learn about the roots of Virginia’s Catholic culture and tradition by reserving a guided tour for your parish group, social organization or school students.

 Museum Hours 

Visiting the Museum: In June through mid-September, the Museum exhibits are open to the public following each Sunday morning Mass. During the "off-season" months, the exhibits are open by appointment only.  

Tours of the Cathedral and exhibits are offered on weekdays and on weekends when there are no scheduled events at the Cathedral.   For walk-in visitors, there are informational displays located in the Cathedral's vestibule and side aisles that illustrate the early history of the Cathedral. These displays are available to view when the church is open.

Visiting the Cathedral: The church is open to walk-in visitors Monday-Friday from 9:00am-3:00pm, Saturdays 3:30pm-6:00pm, Sundays 9:00am-6:00pm unless there is a special event or service scheduled. Prior to your visit, please call the Cathedral or check the online parish calendar: http://www.richmondcathedral.org/calendar/calendar.htm

To schedule a guided tour, please contact the Cathedral's Tour Coordinator at (804) 359-5651.
