Wonderful organist, beautiful architecture, and thought provoking homily from the young priest. Friendly atmosphere.
first time for breakfast just interest smile Carlos
Photos don't do this Church justice. It is grand, regal, yet still feels grounded at the same time. I could see myself coming to hear Mass every week; and I'm the type who only goes to Church on Christmas & Easter.
an incredibly peaceful and beautiful church in the middle of a busy city
Today s service was very Powerful. I m hoping that the Church will stand with the community tomorrow and have 29 minutes of silent. We need to keep the Faith and Heal.
Must visit when in Washington D.C.; rich in history and beautiful
Very nice this Catholic cathedral the other Washington cathedral is from the episcopal church the episcopal church is the same only it is not Roman it is not run by the pope
Absolutely beautiful marble, tiles of stories of the Bible, and JFK after death special mass.
Top 10 prettiest churches I've ever been to in the us
Quiet place for prayer in an architectural atmosphere that is beyond compare in DC. The 6:30PM mass on Sundays attracts the younger crowd. Preachers are very good too, so is the liturgical music.
If you want become a Genius. First you become a Real Man. It is called Genuine.
It's beautiful but the mass was all about raising money. We'll get back again to check
I was able to attend a 7am or 8am Mass before work. What a great way to start the day!
A great piece of architectural art and a homely place of worship.
Beautiful cathedral. From the outside it looks nice and once you enter in, it will lift your spirit and filled you with awe. It has beautiful marble all around and art. It is worth visiting and attending mass. It is also the church were president Kennedy s requiem mass took place.
Amazingly beautiful, real down to earth priest, with a good message for daily living
Beautiful place of recollection and meeting with God
I was staying at hotel near there so decided to take a walk inside this beautiful building. To my surprise this is where services for JFK took place. Having only watched the TV coverage and reading magazine coverage when it was happening, I felt like I was in a time warp. It made those moments come alive for me. I'm so grateful the church memorialized this in tile.
Beautiful church but allowing guitars to be played before and during Mass is awful they are not instruments for the liturgy which is sacred.
An iconic, solemn and historic church. The architecture and art work is truly amazing. Even if one doesn't have the time or inclination to attend mass, it's worth taking the time to tour this beautiful church.
I used to go to Calvert School on 1717 RI Ave, Sad that It's no longer there! I made my 1st Holy Communion there at St. Matthews, and walked in many, many processions over the years. I always especially loved the St. Frances of Assisi chapel. Always dreamed of a small intimate wedding there when I grew up. That never happened, sigh. I was married in Ohio instead. Now when I do get back there, I can't even go in there to say a rosary, it's gated. :( I also miss the black & red Celtic cross on the floor at the front center isle. Sister always reminded us to follow the circle around when marching in processions. Now It is an ugly beige plaque that says JFK's casket once stood on that spot during his funeral Mass. Yeah, I get that momentous occasion, I remember it well, but I miss that beautiful marble cross that guided my foot so many times!
Reminiscing aside it is still a fantastically beautiful church, reflecting in its own man-made way, the beauty & majesty of God's glory! If you are a tourist, planning on going to Mass there, go at least one hour early so you can look around at all the beauty displayed inside, or you will be distracted from the Mass!
This is an excellent place to worship or just tour. Monsignor Jameson, the priests, and staff are top rate. The choir sings with angelic voices. Whether or not you are interested in worshipping, it is worth touring for it's historical significance and adoring it's magnificent pipe organ, Italian marble, and artistic tile work.
A blessing to pray in this sacred cathedral. It is stunning and tranquil at the same time. Awe inspiring yet intimate. A beautiful place to spend time with the Lord!
Austere from the exterior, the Cathedral is a beautiful jewel box inside. It offers a tranquil respite from the busy city.
It was near my hostel, and I came here to attend mass before leaving DC. The architecture was amazing the intricate rosettas caught my attention. The small chapels along the sides were good space to be alone...
Beautifully inspired architecture and a deep historical significance place St. Matthew the Apostle Cathedral at the top of so many 'must-see' lists.
Cantor for Mass had a beautiful voice, good preaching, friendly people
Remarkable views! What a beautiful place to worship God.
Very beautiful church on the inside. Lots of seating. It's very big.
This church is a very nice building both from inside and outside
Beautifully serene place of worship! The architecture and art are just inspiring! Great place to meditate and reflect. I have always appreciated the midday Masses (pre-COVID), which were brief and allowed folks working nearby to pray on their breaks. There are also a variety of community outreach initiatives that connect you with ways to help others in the area.
This Catholic Cathedral may not be impressive from the outside, but it certainly has a beautiful interior : bright, shiny, beautifully decorated and with several side altars that makes prayer easier and peaceful. Sundays at noon they feature a great classic choir that makes Mass memorable
Put the tabernacle back where its sposed to be guys, center by the main altar
A very beautiful cathedral in downtown DC, near the red line metro DuPont Circle or Farragut North. 5min walking. Outside the Cathedral does not impress, but when you enter, you are impressed. Mass in Spanish on Sundays at 1pm.
Incredible architecture! Cannot wait to return to this sacred space!
My favorite Catholic church I have tried so far in the area. Father Greenfield gives wonderful homilies. Reminds me the most of a European Cathedral among the American churches I have been in.
Beautiful both inside and out. We came here for mass while traveling and attended a Latin mass. My husband is familiar but I always struggle with Latin. The booklet they provided was a big help for me to keep pace with the prayers and responses. The priest was a decent orator and the parishioners were all very kind.
Great welcoming community. Highly recommended for anyone visiting or looking for a home parish.
Seat of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC. Site of the John F. Kennedy Funeral Mass on November 25, 1963.
Sacred space. The Mother Teresa statue is worth seeing
Beautiful cathedral inside and out. Unfortunately, I was there for a funeral.
Amazing cathedral. In silence you can really feel its magnificence, plainly. A must when you visit DC.
the peace u feel when coming close to this place is unique.
Excellent priests. Convenient location and mass times for many who.work in DC.
Wow today was a shocking moment for me. I went to church today I have been going to this church since childhood. I go to Ms. Christine (Chorus coordinator) I asked if she had seen this person by any chance and her nasty response was I dont keep track of people of who comes in and out. She stated all I do is sing. I have heard multiple rumors of her disrespecting other Hispanic families and American families. She discriminates against the Hispanic community while working (because she gets paid.)
For a Hispanic mass. She even rolled her eyes. (How is this possible in a church). This church I will never suggest to go here unless they get rid of people like that. The person I requested for has been a volunteer for the church for many years. I will no longer step in this church ever again. Nor suggest anymore family members or friends to go here.
Ash Wednesday 2018 afternoon mass. This is such a beautiful cathedral with incredible choir.
I like going back to this place. I grew up going to this church.
A beautiful Catholic church that I belong to and I go every Sunday. The music and choice are beautiful to listen to and the sermons are very inspirational. While the outside looks plain, the inside of the church is amazing. Come just to have a look and it is easy and convenient location for all.
