What to expect
Experience the grandeur of America’s oldest continuously active cathedral in an intimate, VIP setting. Enjoy exclusive early access to St. Louis Cathedral 30 minutes before it opens to the public, ensuring a peaceful and immersive exploration of this sacred landmark. With small group tours led by expert cathedral historians, hear stories, access restricted areas, and take all the photos you like – all before the doors open to the general public. Founded in 1718 and rebuilt in 1850, St. Louis Cathedral stands on the site of two former churches, one lost in the Great Fire of 1788. Named for King Louis IX of France, it has welcomed historic figures such as General Andrew Jackson and Pope John Paul II. The cathedral is also the resting place of influential early settlers, including Don Andres Almonester y Roxas, who funded its 1794 reconstruction. Over the centuries, it has survived a bombing, a bell tower collapse, and Hurricane Katrina, remaining a testament to resilience and faith.
