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 

Presently, the museum exhibits located in the Baptistery Gallery  and Crypt & Undercroft are available to tour by appointment only.

Tours of the Cathedral and museum 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.

To schedule a guided tour, please contact Colleen Yoder, Museum Curator, at (804) 359-5661, email: cyoder@richmonddiocese.org,      or call the Cathedral's Tour Coordinator at (804) 359-5651.
