The stained glass in this cathedral is really beautiful. The cathedral is large and a quiet place to visit, whether for prayer or just to sit and admire the building. On a weekday it appears that the cathedral is only open from 9am to 12pm.

Beautiful architecture. The details on the statues were incredible. Not too busy. Tours start at 10am.

We stopped by this beautiful church as it was just up the hill from our suite in a Jellybean house. You can go in on your own and they had a young adult / student available to answer any questions. The outside with all the stonework and 2 large clock towers was magnificent! Inside they had many beautiful stained glass windows and a ginormous wood organ that is a feat of human ingenuity! Entrance is by donation and they have QR codes (barcode) that you can use your phone to donate $5, $10 or $20. Stop by of you’re in St John’s!

Very cool building. Impressive architecture and stained glass windows. Our tour guide provided lots of interesting info. His dad and brothers helped work on the ceilings in the 1950's I believe.

Couldn't go in because of a wedding, but looking through the door it seems like a wonderful Basilica. The exterior is very impressive, large and ornately decorated. It sits atop the hill and would have had the best view across the harbour when built. Sadly, city growth has limited that view, but it is still very good. The entrance to the Basilica is also impressive with a large arch and statuary. It's a good walk from the harbour, about 15 minutes, with quite a steep incline. Worth the walk.
