A Welcome from St. Patrick's Cathedral

Where America's faith meets the architecture of the ages.

St. Patrick's Cathedral has stood at the heart of Fifth Avenue since 1879. The Official Tour Program traces the cathedral's most extraordinary moments — from James Renwick Jr.'s towering Gothic Revival design to the windows of Tiffany and Boulanger, the bronze of Partridge, and the spire of the baldachin above the high altar.

Visitors of every faith are warmly welcomed beneath the bronze doors to walk these aisles, light a candle, or simply pause beneath the vaults that have sheltered New York for nearly a century and a half.

Begin your visit the right way — reserve your tour before you arrive.

St. Patrick's Cathedral 5th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets

Steps that have welcomed presidents, pontiffs, and pilgrims.

From the communion rail to the high altar, the path through the sanctuary is the most photographed Gothic interior in America — and the heart of every Official Tour.
