Catholic University of America Tours and Activities

The Steeple and Dome, Catholic University, Washington, DC USA, Washington, District of Columbia

A few years ago I had to sing in the largest Catholic Church in America. The acoustics were absolutely amazing.

The shrine is the largest Catholic church in the United States and North America, one of the ten largest churches in the world, and the tallest habitable building in Washington, D.C. Construction of this church, notable for its Neo-Byzantine architecture, began in 1920 under Philadelphia contractor John McShain. It opened unfinished in 1959 and currently hosts an estimated one million pilgrims each year.
