Appearance
Aspect
"Like the inside of a jewelry box, this enchanting and feminine architecture never fails to delight and soothe a weary soul. So much beauty is great medicine for the mind, heart and soul. There is perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for Catholics and any person of goodwill that just needs some peace and quiet with the Good Lord. The parish is dynamic and has many varied activities, faith building and outreach. Something for everyone. Parking in back a bit tight but such a blessed relief to have it in The City! The priests are very serious about their ministry and role as shepherds and are true to Catholic teachings. A great place to learn the Catholic Faith or do a reboot for returning Catholics. Great pipe organ too. They exhibit a great deal of warmth and class. A very welcoming place." -- A Local Guide
