    Autumn afternoon golden sun rays illuminating the front steps and entrance to St Marys Cathedral in downtown Kingston Ontario, Canada. The street planning around the cathedral is such that sunsets in autumn hit the front entrance. Well timed and properly executed shot won't disappoint

    Beautiful welcoming church. We were shown around by a wonderful knowledgeable lady. I’m so glad we stopped by for a visit. The history of this church is absolutely incredible.

    Fr Jan Kusyk is a young, good and holy priest. He speaks English, Polish, French and Latin. One of the most beautiful and reverent Masses I have ever attended. He usually says the evening Mass on Sundays. He's a wonderful homilist and confessor. I have sought spiritual counsel from him and he is truly a wonderful priest. The cathedral is beautiful. The many statues are breathtaking. The organist is the best I have ever heard! Jeff Moellman is such a gifted pianist, if you attend a Mass when he is playing the gorgeous pipe organ, you'll know exactly what I am talking about. I do wish the tabernacle was in the center rather than off to the side. It ought to be the focal point, it is God's house after all. Would also love to have the Latin Mass available there.

    Grandiose cathedral in/near the downtown Kingston. Inside is not gorgeous as exterior. But feel very sacred. Not a touristic place to visit. But when you have a plenty of time to spend in Kingston, i will recommend here

  • 5/5 Pushkar V. 10 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    This cathedral is so beautiful and an example of an magnificent architecture standing tall, a must visit in Kingston. Parking is free on the weekends in the upper street if no space is available being the downtown busy area

  • 3/5 lilia granillo V. 9 months ago on Google • 93 reviews
    Today is the 175 anniversary of this historic Catholic Church! Great ocasión to celebrate .. but Father Finn.. where are the women ..? In the great entrance only me this time..? That is anacrónico and contrary to our traditions .. many women used to join you in the celebration…! Consider this seriously… our church needs women …

    We arrived by chance and joined a few of the parishioners on a tour to the crypt and to the bell tour. Amazing by chance experience. Wish we could have been to mass there.

    (Translated by Google) I ’m free to travel in Canada. I do n’t know English. The map says that there is a building or an ancient building. I ’ll just go and see. I do n’t know if I can go in. Use Google Translate to ask a passerby. It ’s friendly to help me open the door. Pious people, also want to ask the pastor to prepare a prayer, and finally see the pastor's daze and overwhelmed, and finally give up pulling, because I don't know English, he can't speak Chinese (Original) 在加拿大就是自由自在旅游,英文不会,地图说这里有个建筑还是古建筑就过去看看,也不知道是不是可以进去,用谷歌翻译询问一个路人,很友好帮我打开门,进去看见很多虔诚人,也想问问牧师准备祈祷,结果看到牧师的茫然和不知所措,最后放弃拉,因为我不会英文他不会中文

    Absolutely stunning. Open to the public but limited seats for social distancing. Beautiful service, everyone was being safe wearing masks and staying 6 ft apart, also had an usher to help seat, and sanitizer available. Architecture was just amazing.
