  A very old & famous catholic church, which is very sacred, to Catholics. Although it is an old church it is very well maintained. Visited after many years.  more »

  Beautiful church located within the heart of city. Very friendly father and accommadative for weddings. We did our wedding in that church and due to being a mix marriage we had our time requirements. But the priest kindly gave his full support along with a memorable ceremony.

  The spacious inside of the church is one of the most peaceful and shady sections available. With inner archways leading to the prayer area, the church is filled with things to see; including 145 year-old antique wooden pews, a decorated wooden pulpit, lampshades hanging from old fans, beautiful wood carvings, a bronze Bible stand shaped like an eagle, and stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible. The old memorial tablets embedded into the walls are worth a second look at, because some of them are over a century old. The centerpiece is the large life-sized statue of Crucified Jesus is beautifully wrought and very detailed. The pew racks are not kept empty, and usually contain a neat stack of hymn copies for the use of visitors and regulars. It makes one feel welcome regardless of whether you’re a Catholic or not.
