Visiting the Cathedral

We are always glad to welcome visitors to Saint John's. Monday through Friday the Cathedral space is open
from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sometimes funerals, rehearsals or other activities will mean that the Cathedral is not available for visiting for periods of time during the day.

Please use the Welcome Center entrance at
1350 Washington Street.
(During the week the great north doors of the Cathedral on 14th Avenue are usually closed.)

Individual guided tours are not usually available during the week, but everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the splendor of our Gothic space, and to take time to pray, contemplate, and be still with God.

Public Tours of the Cathedral on Sundays

During the summer months there is a guided tour of the Cathedral and complex on a Sunday following the 10:00 a.m. morning service. The tour begins at about 11:20 a.m.

From September 19, 2010 - May 22, 2011
the Sunday tour takes place following the 11:15 a.m. service at about 12:40 p.m. There are a few Sundays in the September - May season when tours will not take place. In particular, Palm Sunday, Easter Day, and the Kirkin o' the Tartan Sunday in early May.
Please ring 303-577-7730, or e-mail
The Communications Coordinator
to check on specific dates.

Please gather at the 'Guided Tour' sign in the Narthex (north porch) of the Cathedral after the service, where the Guide will greet you.

Pre-arranged Group Tours

We are always pleased to welcome groups to see our beautiful Gothic Cathedral. We have a small team of knowledgeable and interesting volunteers who give of their time to lead guided tours.

If you would like to bring a group to the Cathedral please give us at least two-three weeks notice, so that we can arrange to schedule a volunteer. Sometimes our volunteers have limited availability, so it is always helpful if you can offer more than one date and time possibility.

Please contact The Communications Coordinator,
or telephone 303-577-7730, to arrange a tour.
