The Museum of Catholic Art and History will be pausing in-person visits and tours for the foreseeable future.

Over the years, the museum collection has grown extensively and is in need of updated documentation and cataloging. During this interval, the Museum will be undergoing a complete inventory of each item and its future will be considered carefully.

This hiatus is a much-needed break that provides sufficient time to reassess and reimagine the Museum for the 21st century and formulate a plan for its permanent display that supports Diocesan evangelization and education efforts in the most impactful ways possible.

Thank you for your understanding as we look to the future of the Museum of Catholic Art and History.
