St. Patrick’s Cathedral is always bustling with activity, but around the Christmas season, that sentiment is increased tenfold.

Thousands travel each year to see all the sights of New York City, and you can be sure that a visit to St. Patrick’s Cathedral is as a highlight of that tradition.

Many wreaths adorn the pillars bearing the names of donors and memorials to those dedicated to the ongoing mission that is being served by St. Patrick’s Cathedral. For those who are able, we encourage you to take the trip to see all of these beautiful decorations in person if you get a chance during the holiday season.
