    A true hidden gem. We stumbled upon the church looking for cemeteries and I am so glad we did. I have never seen another church with such detailed statues of the Saints and the ceiling was simply breathtaking. I am not Christian and was deeply moved by the atmosphere and incredible art. If you are looking for something to see/do in Boston, it is definitely worth checking out.

    A beautiful church, and one of my favorite places to pray while in Boston. The renovations are gorgeous and the only thing missing is for the traditional Latin Mass to be offered here. The Franciscans are wonderful and kind to all.

    A beautiful, peaceful, and historic church located right in the heart of Boston’s Italian North end at the corner of Hanover Street at Prince Street. So many are caught up in all the restaurants, bakeries, and shops nearby that they miss out on this absolute treasure. Do take a moment to step inside, no matter your religious views or your ethnic background. You’ll appreciate the simple beauty and a quiet moment of reflection. My photos don’t do this place justice so visit to see for yourself.

    This is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever been in. I live in Oklahoma & make it a point to visit St. Leonards when we are in Boston. I went twice on our most recent visit last week. It’s incredibly peaceful, quiet & serene. The statues & ceilings are magnificent.

    A truly stunning church hidden in Boston. Beautiful statues and stunning garden. Very reverent to Christ.

    Beautiful old church. Grounds are small yet beautiful. Wasn’t able to go in this time as a wedding was taking place. It’s a small quaint church.

    If you stumble upon this church when visiting the North End, then you've hit the bonus treat! The church and the grounds are so beautiful, you're stress will be taken away by just seeing their beauty! I was glad we decided to go in and see the inside. Do yourself a favor and check this out when at the North End!

    Horrible place for a wedding. No parking. None of the workers knew what was going on. They were also rude and took zero responsibility whenever something needed to get done, saying they were volunteers and “it’s not our problem.” The priest gave our videographer permission to go up into the balcony, and then the volunteers kicked him out when the ceremony started, saying he couldn’t be there. Lack of communication, and they were so disorganized. Overall bad experience.

    Gorgeous and ornate church. Very peaceful and beautiful.

    I was born and raised just outside of Boston, but moved away years ago. Whenever I return home for a visit, a stop at St. Leonard's is tops on my list of things to do. The peace that I feel while in this sacred space is unmatched.

    An incredibly beautiful, historic, peaceful church. Anytime I am in or near the area I hope I have time to pause and reconnect here.

    The church is beautiful, but missing the holy vibe. The priest is nice, put you can tell he’s putting on a show of faith. His helpers are aggressive and forced me to consume the communion bread —something I have never experienced at another church before. I’ll look for more simple and authentic church.
