    SaturdayEevening Mass

    Lovely Mass,with an amazing pianist/organist leading the music. Great message from Father Richard, very friendly parishioners towards us obvious visitors. Amazed at the number of Asian families attending - wonder where all the NZ families are? We would love to return.

    lovely attitude priest at recent funeral

    My first time at a Catholic service, lots of classic routine components but a nice personal touch from the priest amongst the formality of an elderly person's funeral

    Beautiful

    Attended the Cathedral for Sunday Mass. The stained glass windows are beautiful. The music was lovely and prayerful. The locals were friendly and the whole experience was very enjoyable.

    Divine silence

    We enjoyed our quick visit there, as I understood this place is a bishop's seat (?), very suitably furnished and spacious.

    Simple architecture with spirituality as the no. 1 attraction

    Central Hamilton City just over the Bridge Street, Bridge. Beautiful cathedral with gorgeous lead light windows. Open for prayer and viewing all day and most of the evening. Solitude and a quiet place for prayer.

    Went to Catholic Cathedral in Grey Street, very moving experience. Went to the Good George and attended a family party upstairs. Food and atmosphere excellent.

    Lovely and majestic building

    Visiting for mass found everyone filled with the positive spirit of the congregation. A wide diversity of ethnicity gives you a very inclusive vibe. The cantors sing beautifully and this encourages the congregation to 'give it their all'. Everyone seems very involved with the mass...More

    Beautiful Church

    I always enjoy attending Mass at this Church. My last visit was during a very sad occasion. It is a magnificent building and you feel the beautiful vibes. Great place to visit even for non Catholics.

    Sorry, only just now seen your question. Seats a few hundred I would guess but the Cathedral office will be able to give you more accurate info. Cheers Ross
