I have lived in St Louis for 20 years and have always wanted to visit this building. Decided to attend Christmas mass. I am not Catholic, but everyone was very warm and welcoming. The architecture of this building is amazing. There is so much to see on the inside and outside. I spent so much time walking around and gazing at everything on the walls and ceilings. You should visit if you get a chance.

The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis is far beyond comprehension in its beauty. Every inch of the mosaics, the arches, and the towering ceilings feels like a direct reflection of giving our very best for God. The organ is unlike anything I have ever heard. The sound echoes from every direction, filling the space in a way that is almost overwhelming, yet completely moving. Attending Mass here was truly heaven on earth. I was deeply honored to receive the Eucharist in such a sacred and breathtaking place. This cathedral is not just another church to visit. It should be a bucket list item for every Catholic, and honestly for anyone who appreciates art, history, and the divine.

Interior is very impressive in all respects, with the murals in particular equal parts, magnificent, historical, and humbling. The tour was very informative and about 50 minutes, and the guide welcomed late-comers to join or not as they wanted.

This church is absolutely stunning! We visited on Christmas Eve so the church was beautifully decorated for the holidays. I honestly came to watch/listen to the choir because they are so good. Would love to come back for a choir concert if there’s any.
