Worth your time!
Coincidentally arrived just in time for the 2:00 guided tour with volunteer Claudia and had a lovely hour learning the history of this centenarian building and its unique interior. Very interesting even for the non-Catholic and I was charmed by her kind, warm and engaging manner. Well worth the drive out from our downtown hotel! The marvelous statuary in the west-side garden area (especially the “Angel of Harmony”) was also unique.

Wow - Amazing Architecture!
Even if you aren't Catholic - this place is well worth a visit and a tour. I think during the week you need to call ahead to schedule a tour. However, they always run one on Sunday at 1pm. The architecture is amazing and tells many different "stories" based on locations of colors, murals, etc. Could spend hours in here
