Visited for a Sunday morning Mass in ordinary time. The cathedral has some nice exhibits on the sides and a mausoleum underneath. The interior of the church sanctuary is very bland. The Tabernacle is off in a side chapel. Very plain inside with weird architecture. Great focus on being friendly, which was nice, but we were hoping for a stronger emphasis on the sacred as well. Very casual atmosphere. Choir sounded lovely. Parking garage was convenient.

This is a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful Architecture and a nice place to attend mass. I’ve enjoyed every visit here and am waiting for the chance to join a guided tour. This is another Blessing we have as Southern Californians. God Bless Us All.

Its not enough to just have believe and have faith, one must trust God. With free will we are given the ability to choose our path, the easy way or the hard way, the long path or the short path. Regardless of the choice, God loves us the same. He loves us in spite of us.With free will comes responsibility. As long as we are free to make choices and decisions, we cant blame God for when things dont go our way.Live in gratitude for the blessings of God and you will be blessed with reasons to be grateful. Blessings.

The staff is great and it is one of the best medical centers on this side of the country. Great organization and great people.

Beautiful Cathedral and grounds. I love it here! I try to visit each year on Ash Wednesday. The liturgy is always just what I need to hear. I like the gift shop as well.

Great modern cathedral. Very spacious. With a crypt and St Vibianas tomb. Service is excellent. A lot of volunteers. Choir, organist, and flutist are excellent. Well maintained and very clean.

Simply breathtaking!!! I stumbled across here by chance and made it time to walk around. It’s amazing, I would recommend anyone travelling to LA to pay here a visit whether or not you consider yourself religious and or spiritual. My only wish was I had the opportunity to attend a service or event their.

I always try to visit cathedrals when I travel, and this one was no exception. I have to be honest and admit I was very disappointed. A modern architecture church just does not feel like a church. This concrete abomination has no warmth or character. Take down the religious imagery and statues and a modern church such as this could be a lunch room, museum or Sams club. I hate to be a downer, but the archdiocese deserves something more classic and timeless than this. Ive never negatively reviewed a church before this, but theres a first time for everything.

An incredible cathedral that captures the Gothic effect of the tremendous and fascinating mystery of God while also appropriating beautiful, delicate touches to draw one to the sacred. The use of light, construction media, and line in the space leave one feeling both focused, while also comforted and warmed by the tapestries and sacred art. Would delight to experience elaborate liturgy here. Stunningly beautiful and holy!

Stunning place. Check for the schedule of organ recitals. On a free afternoon of a business trip I randomly wandered past this amazing complex and was very fortunate to walk in during an organ recital and there was maybe two dozen people there. A shame. It was amazing

The architecture of the church is very nice but plain. I went on a weekday when there were no mass services so it was pretty empty. You are able to walk almost anywhere in the church, including the lower level moslem. The inside is huge and gives you this feeling of being to small. Does not have the feeling of community that I prefer but it does have seating for everyone.parking in the structure is $24! A outdoor prayer candle is $10!

Of course it’s a must-see place to visit in Los Angeles, California.This modern architecture you won’t see anywhere else.This Catedral is unique.You should see it, regardless you are religious or not.

Beautiful beautiful place. It looks like a museum. It was very quiet and spiritual.

A beautiful physical structure...a huge tribute to our Heavenly Father...and all He stands for! They share their parking lot for Superior Court...(its close)!Tours are available and the art-work inside is worth the time...its a City Treaasure.Good weekend trip for kids! Something free to do...that will keep their interest!Great place to find yourself on a Sunday morning for a full service.

Beautiful Cathedral, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Los Angels Council attended mass and held our Annual Meeting there. A woundeful and blessed Sunday.

Truly spectacular. Wonderful to experience, moving in the spirit. The art, architecture and culture of the Cathedral cannot be under stated .To pray here is powerful.

This one of the Cathedral you should come and visit. It’s amazing. The structure is modern and glorious!! The garden, the shop is also good to buy souvenirs. Great to take a time to pray.

Simple cathedral yet I was in awe admiring the delicately design architecture

Strikingly beautiful and massive church in downtown LA. One of the biggest churches I’ve ever been to. I was lucky enough to visit when the organist was playing and it was beautiful. Interesting design in that the church is asymmetrical and architecture has lots of weird angles

Very beautiful and mass. I love the inside pOf this church. I thought it was really nice when I went it was held in both spanish and english

Beautiful experience. An oasis in DTLA.

Huge spaces in and outside, touching funeral of a killed deputy sheriff

As usual, it only happened once a year around this time on November. The Vietnamese of communities from Los Angeles areas gathered at this Magnificent Cathedral our Lady of Angels in LA to celebrate The feast of Vietnamese Martyrs. Most of the Vietnamese from Los Angeles all came to celebrate this big event. The Choirs were from 13 different Vietnamese churches in LA Diocese . The music were beautiful with close to 200 members. You could see the Vietnamese Traditions on display from clothes to the music. This church was so big you could see it from the 101 freeway and it’s located at the corner of Broadway and Temple . This church was built with the great designs, and it took years to complete. There was a plenty of parkings inside the structure. You could walk around the church to see its beauty. From the front of the church you also could enter from the front on the left side or the right. You could also go down to under the church to see the tombs of people whom were buried there. And there were small Chapels that you could do a prayer. On the side of this church, you could see the 101 freeway from below and hollywood or china town areas. There are so much things you can do from this Cathedral such as Little Tokyo, LA Music Center and Downtown LA just few blocks away. It is a beautiful place to visit or go to mass at this church whenever you either come to visit or come for prayers you must stop by.

The mass here was beautiful. Afterwards we were able to view all the works of art, structural beauty and relics that were kept here! If Saint Mother Theresa is your gal, a relic of hers is here!

Wonderful performance tonight...Virgin of Guadalupe story...

Beautifully done, I finally had a chance to come by and visit. I love the tapestries on the walk very well executed.The music sounded amazing and I really enjoyed the experience.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels is so beautiful and peaceful. This is a place where you could sit, pray, meditate and talk to the Lord.They have a lovely gift shop. Remember, that wherever you are God is!When the enemy comes to attack you, you must stand strong through prayer and supplication. Trusting and believing in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. He has the final say! Turn to God for His help. He will hear you and answer you. His Love, Mercy and Grace will protect you.Jesus Christ is our refuge in times of trouble. Pray, my Christian brothers and sisters, do not lose hope, no matter what youre going through.. Pray!!! God is there for you. Blessings to you all.

A contemporary structure.. worth paying a visit in LA ...

Every year I take my dogs to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for their annual blessing and certification. Theres always a great turn out if people and their pets, vendors, pet organizations, etc.

Love watching mass on Television. The only thing that I didnt appreciate was the interruption of several phone calls from a Kasein Gonzalez it was annoying.

If there is one thing in the world that I like it is a modern cathedral and Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles definitely fits the bill. Worth the peaceful wander around including the crypt next time you are in LA.

Welcoming community at Mass. It’s great that they have Masses daily. Would be nice if there was a self guided tour to follow. Very modern architecture. Gift shop is nice with some beautiful items, but a little pricey. If you sign up for their mailing list, they will email you a discount for your birthday month. But, they won’t give you the discount if you are buying something, it is your birthday month, and you are just signing up. This happened to me on Tuesday.

Beatiful cathedral on the inside, interesting paints and relics specially the ones of the Pope Juan Pablo II

I continuously have a joy-filled experience there, whether at mass, on a tour, or when seeing music events there. The homilies are always relevant and well thought out. The priests and/or archbishop greet the congregation after mass every week as if it was a small parish. I find that refreshing.

One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! A priest saw my son and offered a blessing which we welcomed. We didnt even ask and we were extremely grateful. My son has been sleeping during the day and awake at night. After the fathers blessing he stopped!

Beautiful place. I love the Mass here. Everyday should give praise and thanks to god. I feel i get much more in touch with him whenever i come here.

Very pretty, modern design cathedral. When we went, an organist was playing. Make sure to check out the Mausoleum downstairs.

I saw pictures of this cathedral and it didn’t not seem impressive or visually appealing but visiting in person changed my perspective. This cathedral is absolutely massive. The layout is very untraditional with very modern lines and almost and industrial feeling yet very peaceful. The little chapels contain a variety of treasures and artwork. I think my favorite aspect of this cathedral are the murals lining he nave with the plethora of saints facing the alter. This is a place you definitely want to experience for yourself.

BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL (be careful with your parking ticket because if you spend the time they validate, it will be expensive) if you want to stay long it is better to arrive without your car.

A modern church in the heart of Downtown LA, big church and spacious. It took us quite a walk to find the entrance, it would be good if there is more signage on the direction. Theres daily mass service around noon, you can see people are rushing to join the mass. When you get inside, you will immediately humble by the big beautiful paintings and the peaceful serene atmosphere. It would be good if there is guided tour for the visitors, so that we can learn more about the place.

I was actually disappointed at the poor quality of this banquet hall and not to mention the smell ( they definitely need to clean the carpet or something). I attended a graduation here and although the ceremony was at night it awfully hot and stuffy. Also $22 dollars for parking!!! I think it’s pretty ridiculous

Beautiful place. The cathedral gives you a sense of peace and solemnity that makes you profoundly think of the majestic work of art and the religious purpose of the building itself.

Modern Architecture embraces the concept of christianity to allow visitors to have an intimate experience with God. I loved the displays and artwork depicting various important moments.

Until you go in, you wont believe something so big can be so beautiful!The building with the parking is literally one block long. One side is the train station, Music Center and the other side is the freeway. Then you go in and see more beautiful interior. Its breathtaking!

Great atmosphere. A nice to place to visit.

The Cathedral of Our Lady of los Angeles is such a beautiful place to come to mass or to take a tour inside.

Awesome choir accompanied by a top tier organist. It’s like angels are singing. Beautiful Mass Sunday - Friday. Don’t miss it!

A hideous hunk of concrete. A testimony to Mahoneys ego, not the glory of God.

A place of solitude or refuge in downtown Los Angeles. Unique architecture with facade of Spanish limestone. The mausoleum underneath the cathedral is a must see; you may even find a celebritys final resting place.

Beautiful architecture and peaceful environment

My favorite cathedral. So beautiful and peaceful. Grand cathedral and sacred space for a grand city of angels!

The architecture is phenomenal and peaceful environment. Mass is great. Street parking is not that bad but theres a parking structure attached top thre church. Helpful people all around.

Architectural Masterpiece. Prayerful liturgies. Devotional side chapels. Good cafeteria on cathedral grounds. Free underground parking for times of services.

Gorgeous church. One of my favorite architectural gems.

A very unique Catholic church with a large adjacent mausoleum.

Spacious and awe inspiring but modern. it inspires reflection and meditation. An oasis in the midst of the city. There is always an exhibit that highlights some aspect of the California experience.

Beautiful cathedral! The park dedicated to the animals is so lovely!

#LACDMH Stake Holders Meeting was held at the Cathedral. Perfect place to talk about Mental Health and Wellness.

Beautiful church to seen during mass or not.

Beautiful, $10 parking, but its well worth the time, very big and beautiful!!!

Very pretty and different. Hope you get the opportunity to listen someone playing the organ

This beautiful modern cathedral in DT LA must visit for Sunday mass

What a huge place. I love that it has parking and it seems it fits so many cars. I went there for the venue and I loved that its located on the 2nd floor which makes it even more private. Plus I really liked the fact that it has a foyer and it doesnt get over crowded if you have a lot of guest (over 300 people). Great for large events, plus its so close to Grand Park.

It is stunning! And you feel some sense of closeness to your spirituality. Awesome place.

Holy place. Not certain if its the biggest cathedral ever, but a few minutes in here ought to leave any Joe in awe. You will leave spiritually healed or rejuvenated almost certainly.

Arch Bishop Jose Gomez is the best

Iconic! Everything about being here is pleasant. They have a very big courtyard...events and gatherings. This sacred place feels like a museum and not the Holy Place it really is. Beautiful layout...aesthetic...and architectural draw. Parking available...they have location that provides some type kitchen food options. Great Must See Location if your in Los Angeles.

My favorite Cathedral in the state of California. Such a beautiful and peaceful place.

Thats a very sad temple. Its much more similar to an events place than a Catholic Cathedral. Modernism doesnt fit to spiritual places.

I visited on a very special day, but cant say what does it called though. It was peacefully all around and special when the ocassion was still going on. Such a lovely chorus. Down at the basement level you got see some famous people were buried. It was Holly moment for me. I bet you too gonna enjoy it.

... a beautiful place for praying... solemn place for meditation and solace...

Very nice church large nice and clean. Just expect to be paying a pretty penny for parking.

This Cathedral is espectacular. The architecture is so modern. I took many pics outside. Inside, you can feel an incredible peace.

The cathedral is magnificent and underneath is just as wonderful. Marble crypts, stained glass arts, and chapels. All these is worth a visit.Attending a mass is an added benefit. A good way to see Catholic traditions and feel the welcome of a community. On Sundays, there are only two morning English masses and a Spanish noon mass. If youre an early riser, stop for a mass after touring the facility.

Im sure Im not going to be in the majority here but I have visited places of worship all over the world and this one feels very cold. I did not feel the warmth of a community inside of these walls. Im sad to say that but but felt Stark cold and to be honest someone run down. The windows, although slanted, are covered in dust and make the place look shabby. The grounds are beautiful and Serene but one cannot mistake the sound of the freeway roaring by.

Serene and majestic at the same time and a beautiful place and campus to pray or meditate

Tranquility. Beautiful gardens throughout. Great spot to have a coffee. Best venue for a celebration

Awesome! It was an amazing experience. You can contemplate the beauty of God and his Catholic Church in this Cathedral.!

Very modern architecture. I’m biased because I’m in the choir but please do go to the Sunday 10a mass to hear some wonderful music. Also, on Wednesdays there is a free organ recital. Check that out!

Well its interestingly designed, personally I find it to be not great the whole complex is nice. Wonderful priests

Loved going to weekday Mass here.

A Magnificent Sacred Space. Very welcoming.

Really modern and simple yet tasty construction.. There is a beautiful collection of the California missions worthy of your time and the paintings areawesome.. Also the parking even though is expensive is the cleanest in the downtown area...

I have been in many Churches, this one is still one of the most beautiful. Different but pretty.

So beautiful with its modern architecture there is alot to see, the gift shop is amazing too!

I really enjoy coming here. It is such a beautiful place. I am not religious but I do enjoy visiting this Cathedral when I am in the area.

Very beautiful cathedral. It has an extensive art exhibit and large spaces for conferences. If you need a central location for any big events, this is your place

They will be blessing candles either Sunday, January 26,2020 or Sunday, February 2nd, 2020 so bring your candle to the 10:00 a.m. service.

What an amazing place to be! Went to a mass in the beautiful building. The layout and the structure of the cathedral is what will catch your eye. Went to mass during the afternoon and it was a fulfilling experience. Stop by if youre in the downtown L.A.

Beautiful cathedral. Everything about it is absolutely right and an architectural masterpiece. Having the cathedral in downtown Los Angeles is fitting, especially when you can get away for an hour or so and be at peace, in mass, in meditation or in prayer.

It is a Holy Catholic Church. It had.... intersting music. The people there nice. The most important person in the Universe, God, pushed off to the side ina different room. Why? I dont know. It is weridly shaped, but it still has The Holy Eucharist.

I love attending Sunday high mass here. The choir is over exceptional. The churchs architecture is another thing to rave for. Also, parking is not a problem as the church has a parking building on its own.

This cathedral is a work of art, from the outside design, to the vastness of the inside. The intricate work on the inside, from the tapestries on the walls, the stained glass pictures, the woodwork, and even the burial plots for those who wish to be buried within the church walls, it is just amazing.

Visited to see Handels Messiah orchestra.

Extremely impressive and so beautiful that I wish I could have gone there before ! So much to see just inside the whole place. You look and think you have seen everything and there is so much more to see. A real spiritual experience.

Was her for a baptism and were very pleased with the intimate experience and the beauty of the church. I myself am not Catholic but i respect the history and significance of the history in this church. They provide guided tours and have several exhibits. Be prepared to pay up to $10 for parking though.

Beautiful church! The city of Los Angeles is blessed to have this place of worship.

Nice atmosphere, we saw Philippines Baby Christ!

LOVE this place. There is something magical and therapeutic about this church. The architecture alone is a marvel to look at and take in. Very clean place.

Historic landmark,very nice architectural design.
