Arrival & Check-In Information

  • We recommend you arrive at the Cathedral before the performance, which starts at 7PM sharp. Because the church’s Mass service ends at 6PM, it is recommended you arrive no earlier than 6:15/30PM, so as to give our staff and volunteers enough time to set up check-in tables once the majority of Mass attendees have exited the Cathedral.
  • The cathedral has two (2) main entrances at the front (east) side and one (1) handicapped-accessible entrance on the left (south) side for you to check-in at.

Concert Raffle Information

Those who register online and check-in at the door for a concert are eligible and entered into the concert raffle. The winner will be announced near or at the end of the concert, must be present to win. Raffle prizes may include Fiesta medals, custom program books, even art!
