Lovely cathedral, ought to be more educational

This is a very nice cathedral in Yangon. Catholicism is decidedly a minority religion here... read more

We had missed the services in English but were happy to enjoy a moment of reflection in this lovely church.

We noticed that the church has a lot if history and that it had recently undergone some renovation hence the more modern ceiling I guess. Beautiful church with really interesting friezes and sculptures with fabulous stained glass windows.

Well worth a look if you are in the area and need somewhere to rest from the hustle and bustle of the old town.

Nice toilet facilities outside. Seems to be a good relationship with the community which is lovely to see.

An ocean of peace and calm, this is an impressive building and stands in contrast to all the gilded Buddhist temples. It is formal but not in the least intimidating. Well worth a visit to leave all the traffic behind for a while - they have great toilets too.

We wandered past this one after a hearty breakfast at the nearby Lucky 7 so wandered to have a look at a cathedral in the middle of Yangon. Have to say it was not particularly inspiring, especially after visiting all the stunning pagodas. Wandered out again fairly quickly.

We attended the 5pm Mass on Wednesday 20 March 2019. St Mary’s Cathedral’s interior and exterior are beautiful. I was surprised that the Church is so well kept. It’s definitely worth visiting.

The Cathedral located on Bo Aung Kyaw Street was constructed on land given over by the neighbouring St. Pauls High School now renamed Basic Education High School No. 6.

The Architect was a Dutch man Joseph Cuypers and the amazing design meant the construction was made completely of brick without any iron used in the construction. The stained glass windows were replaced over a period in the 1980's having been lost to bombing in the war and some horrendous weather conditions. The fact that the building has many flying lodgers will more than likely lead to a much needed maintenance program. Pope Francis spent two nights in the accommodation on the grounds of the Cathedral during is visit in 2016.
