Comments
St. Matthew's--not the blue-domed Immaculate Conception Basilica--is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Washington. Built in 1895, it has an interior that is a riot of multicolored marbles, mosaics and coffers. The funeral Mass of assassinated president John F. Kennedy was held here in 1963. Pope John Paul II visited it in 1979 (Benedict XVI passed it by in 2008). Open all day, St. Matthew's is also a center of culture and education, particularly during Advent and Lent.
Unfortunately, and unlike other downtown DC churches, St. Matthew's is also a magnet for panhandlers who are encouraged by Mass-goers who give them money. Most beggars just stand in the way at the front entrance or stare, but occasionally some are aggressive and don't graciously take "No" for an answer. If you want to help the homeless without encouraging them to annoy people, St. Matthew's has a homeless ministry.
