Beautiful place to pray. Parking can be scarse since you park on the street but all in all Beautiful. Pretty quiet considering the location right beside a firehall and a busy street on both side

if you are in town, take the free tour - this is a beautiful piece of architecture and one steeped in history. The windows, pews and other art work are breathtaking and the tour guides are wonderful and funny. Kingstonians are proud of their city and it shows in this tour. Steps from Market Square

Take a tour! A don't miss, beauty of a true Tiffany Window, architecture, breathtaking beauty and history comes alive, volunteer tour guides. Noontime music often in the summer, the bells ring and there is a small carilon! Artistic beauty in needlepoint surround the 3 altars, locally crafted over the years. A visit you will not want to miss!

I loved the sounds of the church bells ringing....it reminded me of growing up in Montreal. There is so much history in Kingston and the architecture is absolutely breathtaking.

Volunteer guides add to this beautiful old church by telling about it's history and sharing folk tales which add some mystery. Well maintained building with beautiful stained glass.

One day I happened to wander into this church to check out the stained glass windows and because my feet were killing me after hours of walking around one of my favorite Ontario cities! Imagine my surprise and delight when I walked into this empty oasis of beauty, with sun beams spreading the color of the windows all over and... More
