The entire church is painted with murals and decorations. The stained glass windows are pretty. This church is something to go out of your way to see.

It was worth the 30 dollar ride to Castries to see this church. I have travelled the world over and it is always worth it to see the local places of worship. By the way - the church was quite impressive.
