Review from Kenny M.
11/25/2011 5 Check-ins Here
Ahh Calgarys main catholic cathedral! It's pretty big and the acoustics are quite a listen! it's a peaceful, traditional church space which I really enjoy being in.
It's a bit odd to review a church, something that I have never done so since the big guy will probably read this review I will be extra nice hahaha
In all honesty,St.Marys has everything going for it (as it should because of who its named after)! I love the organ which sounds just huge in the space, and it's even better when they got the full choir to go along with it. They offer full mass services on the weekends and the place can get pretty packed at certain times! The Christmas and Easter services here are well done and leave a strong impression.
Now don't expect a european cathedral when you come here, heck Rome has at least 100 churches even bigger and more Magnificant than this! Needless to say its probably calgarys finest, I wish more churches felt like church and didn't try to be something modern or move with the times and for me this fits the bill just fine! Come on down to St.Marys!!

Review from Victor P.
Perhaps I'm just nostalgic for the grandeur of great cathedrals, but for me St. Mary's evokes a sense of awe and wonder. It was a treat to have my son's school celebrate Advent Mass 2010 here.
