What visitors say

Very beautiful, very holy, and very faithful church! The priest had a great homily! The parish is very active! Without doubt I strongly recommend going to Saint Joseph’s Cathedral! Know our Savior Jesus loves you and have a great day!❤️✝️🙏⚓️🕊️⛪️😃 Be careful walking down the stairs off of 3rd Ave entrance. They are steep and numerous for the elderly. If you're not familiar with this church, you'll have no other choice but to use them. Please know that there is a flat entrance on the 4th Ave side with wheelchair access as well. This is a beautiful, enormous cathedral! How sad. Visiting the area and wanted to stop in the church. I had not been back in 25 years. I paid for parking walked up to the front doors and found them locked at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A man painting out front said that the church was closed. No signage indicating church hours. So I called the office and the recording said that the church was open Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. I spoke to someone named father Peter Navarro and explained the situation and he really didn’t seem to care. All he said was where did you find out the information about the church hours and when I told him that it was on the recording all he said was that’s fine to know. Nothing else. Not exactly a very welcoming message to the faithful. It was a very beautiful Catholic cathedral. There are many life size statues of many wonderful saints. There is also a new statue of Mother Teresa sank teresa and the Pope John it is gorgeous cathedral lovely lit and the acoustics are wonderful. For a mass today we had the I don't know how many pipes are in the Oregon but it's a big organ up in the loft and there was singing at the mass it was very spiritual. It reminded me of masses when I was a child absolutely lovely. There is a restroom and free parking. I love to come to mass here. It has the traditional church feeling. It's a beautiful church.
