Nice pub not stunning

Holy Name Cathedral is a nice enough Church and if you happen to walk past it might be worth going in. However if you are not interested in Churches or going near the area this is very missable. Note: this is a working Church so...More

Beacon of hope! Beautiful church in the city.

Beautiful stained glass windows and rich woodwork. We visited on a Friday afternoon and it was quiet enough for us to sit and pray. Was part of a walking architecture tour we did in between meetings.

It's a Church . . . go on in as long as it is not after visiting hours. I sincerely doubt if they appreciate cameras flashing though. While you're there, light a candle, say a prayer and leave a couple bucks in the box.
