This gorgeous, serene cathedral is a wonderful place to sit and reflect amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The architecture is breathtakingly beautiful, and even though this place is a tourist attraction as well as an active place of worship, it doesn't get too loud or overwhelming. I loved sitting here and taking some quiet time away from the chaos of the outer world.

I have always loved old churches with vaulted ceilings. This did not disappoint. The gold, the details, the art, the sculptures, . . . just so inspiring. We were fortunate enough to attend Mass here. The officiant was a gifted, insightful & inspiring speaker. Parts of the Mass, especially the music, were in Latin. That I didn't like. I felt disconnected from the service like I was part of an audience rather than a participant in the Eucharist. We learned a lot about Mother Cabrini in the gift shop. The bulletin confirmed they are a vibrant parish.

During your stay in Philly, make Sunday morning here a priority. Conveniently located with the city center is the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. The architecture is amongst one of the best in the whole entire country.
