This place is a hidden treasure! My husband and I were visiting friends for the weekend and were looking for an Episcopal church on Sunday morning. We had no idea that Buffalo had an Episcopal Cathedral, or that the worship would be so uplifting and inspirational.
We attended the 10:00AM Eucharist, along with about 250 other folk. The choirs were superb. Around 10 men & 18 teenage girls sang a mass by William Byrd which was out of this world - I'd never heard anything quite like it. The boys choir of around 20 was in a gallery at the back of the church and sang 2 or 3 other pieces, all of which were beautifully done.
The preaching was first class and the congregation was friendly and welcoming.
We'll be back!

If you can catch a concert here, it is well worth the effort. This is a beautiful church in the center of downtown Buffalo-right near Cathedral Park. It is GLORIOUS! Parking may be an issue.

Take a trip to this site and look around. You will see six / seven other Architecturally Significant Building within walking distance - the Guaranty Building (Louis Sullivan), the Elliott Square Building, the Old Post Office Building, the Erie County Court Building, the Buffalo City Hall (Art Deco), the M & T Bank Building ( designed by the World Trade Center Twin Towers Architect - a pilot structural design for those buildings), Also the Buffalo Ball Park (designed in tradition of old time ball parks) and the Key Bank Arena with attached Hotel and adjacent to the Buffalo Entertainment Harbor Front.

The stained glass windows on the inside really are among the prettiest of all the stained glass windows I have seen in real life and on google images. Homeless jesus really is a thought provoking statue and the plaque honoring all the men from Buffalo and the parish who served in WW1 is really special to see if you are a proud American. Plus it is right across the Prudential building so you can see 2 beautys and not have to repark your car

Amazing. Singers well done, and some of them look so young, almost as if they're about 10-18. Amazed by what this choir can do, especially with the men.

When you visit City Hall and the Guaranty Building, drop into St. Paul's across the street from the Guaranty. A beautiful old cathedral. If I'm ever in Buffalo on a weekend, I'd love to catch a concert there the way some other reviewers have done.

The Architecture is fascinating. The pipe organ even better.
Will return to hear the Organ. Thank the church for keeping the organ going !

The first view of this church, I saw brown bricks. This Cathedral was solid!
When I came closer, I saw a statue on a wooden bench. It was a statue of a homeless and behind him there was a plaque: "Homeless Jesus". There was another plaque. 130 men and 7 women served in World War 1.
The entrance door was very pretty! The stained-glass windows are nice as well. This is worthwhile to see!

This church was being cleaned on the outside when we visited. The inside was nice but dark. It was not a really impressive church but the stain glass was nice.
