    A beautiful sacred space, blocks from the Capital. I’ve been to two daily Masses here, and have very much felt at home. The windows are beautiful. The space is also very handicap accessible. A ramp on the left side (looking at the Cathedral from outside) goes into the church. Ample space and a ramp to the restrooms as well.

    Medium to big size cathedral in downtown Harrisburg, two blocks away from the capitol. Besides the marvelous interior design in the church, what surprised me is the current conditions of the whole building: it is like a brand new church. When we visited, it was during a Friday morning. No mass at that point, but the church is kept open for visits.

    Stopped here to give thanks for the journey and quiet reflection. The stain glass is very beautiful and well kept. The artwork is incredibly beautiful. a lot of love and devotion went into the craftsmanship and design.

    What a wonderful church. Priests were Welcoming and spoke to visitors after mass. Nice crowd for 0930 Sunday Mass. glad it was air conditioned! Organ and singers added another level to Mass.

    Simply majestic cathedral. You feel a lot of peace and harmony. I went in and stayed for a few minutes sharing with my daughter stories of the Catholic Church, of the bishops, of how to become a Pope. It was a moment of great fluidity and blessing. I was surprised by their architecture and that they had their doors open although there was no mass at that time. God bless all the parishioners who attend here and all the priests and bishops who officiate the Mass.🙏🏻🇺🇸⛪️✝️

    Architectural masterpiece. We went in to take pictures and the organist was tearing it up. the sound was unbelievable. Majestic. I never thought an organ could sound so good.

    So beautiful and such a welcoming, friendly Saturday evening mass! We love this church so much that we visit from Hagerstown.

    The architecture is really beautiful and the structure, painting and art is very detailed and captivating! Really nice church to go for a mass or even silent prayers. The Priest (in the picture) was really wonderful and he made us feel very welcome!

    A stunning and spectacular church. Well done in all respects and with the utmost reverence to our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I attended a funeral Mass and hope to visit soon under more favorable circumstances.

    Best memorial ever. This modern day priest, father Brommer was very up to date on culture and modern ways of society. A kind reminder of my mother in law when he delivered the memorial mass.

    Beautiful building with magnificent interior. Loved the stained glass windows

  • 4/5 Weston H. 2 years ago on Google
    This cathedral is majestic and a joy to sing inside. It sounds beautiful, although the heating system is really loud when it kicks on. It sounds like the building is getting ready to take off into orbit. I guess that tracks for as large of a space as the interior has.

    Was there for my cousins installation Mass as Bishop of Harrisburg. Even though I didn't have a great seat, they had viewing screens set up, so I actually saw it better.

    A beautiful traditional roman catholic cathedral built between 1904 - 1907. The priests are very friendly and a lot is done for the parishioners.

    Beautiful church ⛪️

  • 5/5 Joseph Y. 5 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Beautiful stained glass windows! I like to visit the Cathedral for private prayer. The Cathedral also has a top notch music director; however, for liturgical music I recommend the 11 am Mass at Saint Lawrence Church at 110 State Street.

    Beautiful architecture. Makes you think of the strength of will of the communities that built St. Patrick's and all of Harrisburg. A lovely place to pray.

  • 5/5 Paul K. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a wonderful and peaceful Cathedral. Even with lots of activities going on around me, I was able to focus on the beauty of the architecture, and that helped block any distractions.
