SaturdayEevening Mass
Couples
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
Friends
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

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
Couples
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.

Lovely and majestic building
Couples
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 and very respectful. A very blessed experience.

Cathedral of BVM, Hamilton East
Family
I regularly attend mass at the Cathedral. I always appreciate the planning and practice that has gone into the liturgy and the music. The congregation are an amazing mix of very many nations and cultures which I find quite inspiring. Although I am sometimes alone I always feel welcome and included by the clergy and congregation.

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.
