*Holiday Hours

The Basilica is open from 7:00am-10:00am on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving Day. There is one Mass at 9:00am, and no tours are offered on these days. In the case that Independence Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the normal Saturday or Sunday schedule will apply.

**Additional Tour Information

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.

+Inclement Weather Policy

If weekday Mass is cancelled, we will announce it on our website (www.americasfirstcathedral.org). If the 7:30AM Mass is cancelled, it will be posted to our website by 6:30AM.
