Please also note that the Sunday tour is for walk-ups only, and groups will not be scheduled on Sundays. On Thursdays, groups may not be able to visit the Undercroft due to Adoration. There are no guided tours offered during Holy Week or the week of Christmas. Please note that we have a team of exceptional volunteer docents. Occasionally, because of schedule conflicts, a docent is not available at one of the above-mentioned times. In those cases, visitors are encouraged to take the self-guided tour, which is an educational and enjoyable experience.
