The church is beautiful and very welcoming. The four person male choir filled the church. English readings for the day were offered to us as we entered. The cathedral is very close to the Chateau Frontenac. More

This was a very pretty church. I have been to some beautiful churches in the world and this lacked the impact that I have seen in other cities. If you love beautiful churches and cathedrals, take a drive out to Mont Saint Anne-de Beaupre and see the basilica there, it is amazing! More
