    The Catholic Church, in Boston, MA, has saved my life, many times, by providing, warm shelter, food bank, hot foods, and financial assistance. The holidays, were beautiful, again. I, consider the Catholic Church, of Boston, MA, a miracle, resource, and always enjoy, the friendly conversations, from clergy, working on site. Bayo

    I was amazed to see that Boston has such a great cathedral! Built in 1875, it's not widely known neither located in a key area of the city. It's even hard to find any mentions of this church in guidebooks. However, it's a truly beautiful church - one of those that can trigger a mystic experience while you stroll inside.

    They have done an amazing job on the renovations, absolutely beautiful. A must see for historical value even if your heart's not into Catholicism, Farther Kevin and his team hit a home run with this Boston Treasure! I have been to Rome and seen many churches as well as the Vatican, I visited The Cathedral of Notrudam in France and the Holy Cross Cathedral all though smaller still a sight to see. Who knows it might just warm your heart a bit?

    Father David Taurasi holds traditional Tridentine Latin mass as though it were his first and his last. Sermons are brilliant, educational, mesmerizing and inspiring. Gregorian chants add to the reverence of the mass. It is held in the beautiful downstairs chapel of the Cathedral. Not to be missed! Every Sunday at 10 am, follow path by Our Lady’s statue in the garden on left of Cathedral. Path leads down to lower level’s doors.

    Bella esta iglesia y enorme , estuve aqui de visita un Domingo con una amiga, el servicio Hispano fue de 9:30am a 10:30am luego de ese viene el servicio en Ingles. This church is beautiful I came here with a friend to the 9:30am service in Spanish it ends at 10:30am allowing you to do other things right after because you start and finish early, I found that very convenient if you asked me, after that they then have the English version for the English speakers. Face masks appears to be optional at this place it wasn't extremely crowded but I do encourage people to wear a masked as Covid-19 cases are going up again.

    An amazing cathedral full of stained glass windows yet very modern inside. Assume it has been done up structurally quite recent. Sunday church also has Spanish services.

    I was awestruck by the architecture and beauty of this Cathedral. It seemed like what a Cathedral of the old world would look like.

    One of the most beautiful churches you will ever see. The massive organ in the rear balcony is astounding! A miracle of a house of worship!!

    Beautiful Catholic Church in Boston. Definitely worth checking out!

  • 5/5 theo r. 9 months ago on Google
    This Cathedral offers the best liturgical experience in all of Boston. The historic pipe organ is truly something to behold, and I don't have enough superlatives to describe the music director. Come hear it for yourself ... he will make the small choir of a dozen or so sound greater than any tabernacle choir. Amen.
