Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This lovely friendly cathedral is easy to find along Woodward. Truly a work of art full of Pewabic tiles and beautiful stained glass windows. I have come for several holiday services and always welcomed by the beauty and this kind open minded congregation. Wonderful woodwork as well. Just lovely and incredibly welcoming! A marvelous neighborhood!

Beautiful 100 + year old Episcopal cathedral in heart of Detroit. Sunday services at 8:15 and sung Eucharist at 11:00. Weekday services also. Beautiful stain glass, mostly traditional, but also some really wonderful comtemporary windows.

Great place to sit, meditate and worship during noontime hours, M-F. Beautiful sacred art, long history. Welcoming worship on Sundays...diverse and open congregation with world class choir. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting the Motor City. Ask for a tour! Guides or office staff are usually available, even during the week.

If you appreciate amazing architecture, the Cathedral Church at St. Paul will not disappoint. The stained glass windows alone are enough to take your breath away. It is not difficult to be swept away into an attitude of worshipping the Almighty in this beautiful place, a reflection of His glory!

Went with visitors to check out the art and architecture. Gorgeous space. They have organ and choir concerts throughout the year that look amazing!

A Modern version of an old world cathedral. While it is lofty and beautiful the acoustics aren't the best. You have to rely on the speaker system to hear the mass and very few people can actual see the altar. If you don't need to see the preist durting mass to feel connected then you will like mass here.
Plenty of parking in a new, clean and safe parking in the lot next to the church.

Thank you for your review but we are wondering if you might have written about Blessed Sacrament, the Roman Catholic Cathedral?

Hello
Is it possible to enter the cathedral during the day on Saturday? I would be interested in sketching and maybe taking some photos if that is permitted. I see hours for Monday to Friday and Sunday, but nothing is listed for Saturday.
Thank you very much
Jess
Oh yes, and I guess, do I need a ticket to enter? How much would it cost? Sorry, these questions are probably kind of dumb but I don't know anything about any of the Christian church practices.
Thanks again.

This Saturday (26th) the Cathedral will be open until about 1 pm while folks are getting the church ready for Easter. You are welcome to sketch and there is a copy of the photo policy on the website under FAQ.
If you are thinking of another Saturday your best bet would be to make arrangements through the Cathedral office. They can tell you which Saturdays the building is scheduled to be open.
