Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament

The cathedral is at 9844 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48202. Contact the office at 313-865-6300 or [email protected] about visiting arrangements, group tours or the correct instructions for a special event.

The parish office maintains the following hours: Monday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Tuesday 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Wednesday noon to 7:00 PM, Thursday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Saturday 9:00 AM to noon. The office is closed on Sundays.

Visitors without reservations may stop by the front office during office hours. Admittance is granted only if and when the cathedral is available and not during times when pilgrims with reservations have a booking. Calling ahead to check availability is recommended.

Sunday Mass is held at 11:00 AM, offered both in person and livestreamed. On the second Sunday of each month, a 6:00 PM Revival Mass is celebrated, with exposition beginning at 5:00 PM.

Weekday Masses are celebrated at 8:00 AM in person on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. There is no Mass at the cathedral on Wednesdays. Typically, non-Sunday Holy Day Masses are also held at 8:00 AM, with any additional Masses listed under upcoming events.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place on First Fridays and Second Thursdays following the 8:00 AM Mass, as well as on Second Sundays at 5:00 PM. The schedule is subject to exceptions during high holy days and ordinations.

The cathedral lists seating for 850 people and an interior with stained-glass windows, marble floors and statues of the Apostles. That general capacity does not establish the ticket allocation or arrangement for every concert. Consult the exact event plan if a performance has designated sections.

The cathedral hosts a Statue and Relic Pilgrimage featuring relics associated with the original Apostles, with statues and explanatory displays. Its dedicated pilgrimage information explains how individuals and groups can arrange a visit. Check availability in advance, since reserved groups and liturgical activities can affect access.

Group tours are available, and visitors can explore the cathedral's stained glass, organs, and other features. Reservations are managed through the front office, and availability depends on the schedule of pilgrims with bookings and other cathedral events.

While the cathedral primarily serves as a worship space, it occasionally hosts religious concerts and special liturgical gatherings. Musical events are typically aligned with the cathedral's sacred mission, and any upcoming events are listed on the cathedral's calendar.

The cathedral asks visitors to dress modestly and with discretion appropriate to a sacred space. Its guidance discourages revealing or very short clothing. Follow any additional instructions given for a concert, pilgrimage or service.

Visitors should be mindful that the cathedral is an active place of worship. Quiet and respectful behavior is expected, especially during Mass and other liturgical services.
