Beautiful and peaceful. There is so much to appreciate. Open during non mass times. Is worth a visit if you are in Mobile. It is surrounded by beautiful old homes.

Just a beautiful and breathtaking sight to see in person. The stained glass reminds me of my childhood church and the Alter is breathtaking.

The stained glass was awesome. The underground burial vault was unique for us. Enjoyed the visit and the neighborhood was quiet .
After the cathedral visit we went to Oakleigh neighborhood and enjoyed a walk through the area. Many homes were built in the late 1800’s and are well kept.
Finished with a lunch at Felix’s Fish Camp. Don’t miss the crab soup. It made the trip special.

The Cathedral is a significant part of Mobile's history (along with the nearby Bishop Portier House) and an enduring witness to faith. Worth a quick visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or religion.

Amazing cathedral! Never thought I would find such a beautiful church and cathedral down south. One of my favorite stained glass windows including the ones I’ve seen in France and Spain. It represents the Infant Mary being presented to the priest. Her expression of sublime admiration is so incredible she looks like she is in a state of ecstacy. The level of admiration is only possible when one practices the height of purity and humility 🙏🙏

Emaculate. It was open so we walked in and walked around. Very nice. There were some staff members that were helpful with questions. Very nice and relaxing. It is worth the visit.

DEPOSITS AND FEES
Your wedding date will be tentatively placed on the church calendar when you request your date, however the date will only be finalized when the deposit and agreement are received within 10 days of initial contact. The date and time will revert to “open” if the agreement and deposit are not received within 10 days.
The total cost for a Cathedral wedding is $1,675.00 (or $1,575.00 without a Cantor). A deposit of $675.00 is required when the wedding agreement is submitted to secure the reserved wedding date. The balance of the fee, $1,000.00 is due and payable 60 days prior to the wedding date. Weddings will be removed from the calendar if the fees are not received according to the payment schedule as follows:
PAYMENT SCHEDULE

I would like to know can we go into the Church to see it without going to Mass?

Yes you can. It is locked at night but open each day. Masses are usually in the morning and noon on weekdays and a Mass on Sunday. There are funerals and weddings from time to time also but to again answer your question you can just walk in most any day.
Can you go see the church without attending Mass?
