St Patricks Cathedral, NYC's Largest Cathedral

A Bus Charter tour of NYC is not complete without visitng the largest Catholic Cathedral in the city. And St Patricks Cathedral is not only the largest but the oldest as well as the most famous.
Work on the Cathedral began in 1858 but was delayed due to the Civil War. Completed in 1879 major renovations have taken place over the years to both improve and modernize the Cathedral.The church is still has an active parish which encompasses some 300 city blocks of Midtown Manhattan. This huge Cathedral seats over 2,000 people and an estimated 3 million people visit each year.
With altars designed by Tiffany's & Company, grand stained windows designed by some of the most talented artists of the world, the Cathedral is certainly an awesome sight to see. The great pipe organ is one of the finest in the world and is only one three beautiful organs. Masses are held throughout the day, as well as weekend services.
