To bad it was locked. Not a far walk from to waterfront. I would’ve loved to see the inside. I’ll try again sometime.

We attend vigil Mass Saturday at 5pm. It was pleasing to see a rather full church. The inside is quite huge with simple brickwork adorned by beautiful stained glass windows. It's worth seeing even if not attending Mass. PS spanish baroque style.

Great Catholic Church! Many Mass schedules. Spanish Mass at 1200 on Sundays. Catholic retreats, bible study. Excellent Colombian Priest, he is an instrument of God with his homily.

One of the best Southern Catholic Churches in town. There is a sense of community and warmness to the Spanish mass held there. A calm quiet when the mass ends. Lastly, beautiful architecture and especially beautiful during the its Christmas celebrations.

Beautiful Basilica. We didn't get to attend mass but we were able to go inside and take a look thanks to Cheryl the parish secretary. 🙏

I came in from out of town and I was hoping to go to the 9 a.m. mass -says it's in the St Thomas chapel but I couldn't find the chapel. Please post some sort of sign for those who are visiting . Unless, that is, you don't want visitors - fellow Catholics
