This cathedral is beautiful and Canon Bosco is wonderful. The chorus sing like angels. We got our vows renewed in November. We'll never forget such a magical event. Thanks Canon Bosco. God bless you 🙏🏻
Visited several times....well, tried to visit but despite being listed as 'open' it was in fact very much closed. You'd have thought a Cathedral would remain open for the community to come and pray but sadly not.
The architect must have been high on something as from the outside it's hideous! Like a giant funnel sat on top a corporate office block.... literally nothing remotely Christian looking or feeling as you approach the building....just cold modern architecture.
Went into the city centre to find an open church. Sadly it's rare to find a church that's open outside mass hours nowadays.

Not religious myself, went to support my family. Beautiful modern church with an interesting backstory about its construction. Has some beautiful modern stained glass windows. I enjoyed going, though, I cannot put my finger on what but something was missing in the church in comparison to others I'd been to. Felt a little too empty, but I think in time with general use and having many people over the years show their love in different ways will give it its charm eventually. The priests were very approachable and happy to help! Thank you Father Declan! (I didn't get your last name, sorry if I'm being disrespectful) areas for silence there and to light candles in the name of passed loved ones. The chairs are interesting as they have cushions attached to the back in order to prey on knees as they do not have traditional pues. Plenty of parking round the front and back with disabled access and help available. 10/10 would go again, friendliest aura.
We joined here for the Sunday mass and it was nice to be there for the peaceful mind. I felt a bit awkward on the structure of the cathedral because there were no pictures and statues of Jesus Christ on the altar.
We were there for a funeral. Quite an extraordinary experience. Some of the rituals felt quite pagan. We had the wake in a downstairs room that was accessed via a narrow spiral staircase. Not built with the disabled in mind. But an impressive building.
We were there for the Katyn memorial Mass. A truly great spiritual experience and a poignant ceremony at the memorial stone after, outside in the cathedral grounds. Great sermon by father Jacek.
Hail and Glory to the murdered Poles at the hands of the NKVD in this heinous crime in 1940.

Great location in a quiet street with beautiful houses around it. The shape of the building is very remarkable and is seen from far away. The greenery around the cathedral is very pleasing to the eyes. The atmosphere of the place is calming and relaxing.
Wonderful modern building with an unusually warm atmosphere. Great and friendly venue for a classical concert as part of the Clifton festival. Not sure about the religious bit I was visiting for the music so no judgement made.
