Reviews of St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral

G. H.

We had a fantastic experience getting married at the Cathedral. Fr Jamie went above and beyond to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch, and leading up to the big day he was very quick to respond to inquiries and help. We feel so fortunate that we were able to get married in such a beautiful church

H. M.

Could not visit inside unfortunately but it looks captivating from outside. Far from tourists.

I. A.

Impressive Catholic Cathedral. Great venue for social meetings. Masses run regularly. Awesome interior design. Modern statue complex has been recently built in front of the cathedral. Beautiful landmark in the city centre.

S. I.

Wonderful Catholic Cathedral, regular Masses.

g.

the church is nicely decorated, as an international student i feel like the community is very welcome and kind :)

A. C.

As you can expect from every place of worship the place is peaceful and will help you to stop, reflect, meditate maybe ans certainly to take a refuge from outside world even if it is for a short while. Interesting interior, stunning architecture and the Catholic shrine inside is also worth to see. Even if you are agnostic or you do not practice your religion this church will give you a moment of peace.

L. F.

Beautiful church open to the public. Peaceful with plenty of space to pray.

G. M. P.

St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral is a place of peace. You can pry. Admire pictures and statues. Thinking on history of Jesus Christ and His Holly Mother. Drop sins and enforce your faith. God bless you all! 🙂🙏😇❤🤗 …

We loved the Mass here this morning. Compelling and helpful homily, joyful music. A beautiful church and community. Best Mass my son has ever been to. Thank you!

L. B. H.

Catholic cathedral near the city center.

M. D.

This is a Cathedral that made me feel at peace the very first time i visited. Once inside I felt that I entered another world of silence, tranquillity, peace and and so much beauty. I left the hectic world outside and could pray with no interruptions. I usually attend the Vigil Mass and I always feel recharged at the end.

A. W.

It is a beautiful Cathedral every time I go to Edinburgh i always go to visit and go to Mass.I always feel so calm when I come out of it .Me and my husband are going back to Edinburgh this month and I will certainly be going to visit it again.

v. s.

M. R.

Love going to mass at the cathedral so peaceful

J. B.

Lovely cathedral. Very central. Beautifully decorated. Mass in English, Polish and, I assume, Latin.

S. G.

Nice cathedral. Recommended for a visit.

C. G.

Although there are more beautiful and spectacular cathedrals in Britain, namely Westminster and Liverpool, Edinburgh has a good location and is not hidden by other buildings which wasn't always the case. Until the 1960's it was in a narrow street which was cleared when the St James Centre was built.

k. o.

I sometimes go to mass on a Saturday morning 🌄 🙃. …

G. C.

I liked the calmness of the interior decoration

i.

I agree with others that this no architectural marvel like St. Giles, but it is still a nice place. There are also statues outside, one of which is a hand. Though it has prayerful meaning, it reminded me of my cousin as I waked past it nearly every day on my three week visit. Keiko, you lost the hand!

K. V.

One of the most beautiful place in Edinburgh

j. c.

this cathedral has a hidden gem which is Father Jamie,arpiest that will be saint one day-mark my words!!! cathedral overall is a peaceful, spiritual place, very prescious to me....

Lovely church. We went to the vigil mass and it was celebrated very reverently. Stunned to not only see the altar rials survived the 70’s, but are in use today!

A. A.

I'm a visitor and from London. Very peaceful and quiet . An ideal place for prayers and meditation . A lot of devotees are continuously coming in and out to pray! Beautiful church too.

The altar was exactly where I expected to find it. That's why I found it there, just where I expected it to be. I was pleasantly surprised. No pun intended.

R. K.

Beautiful old interior that is well maintained. A very calm and friendly church.

M. G.

Amazing choir and a nice spiritual experience for Easter

Gorgeous church tucked in behind John Lewis. Good to understand why it is so secluded, of course Catholism was frowned on and punishable in the days it was founded on this site

(Translated) Catholic cathedral of the city. It is not very big but it is pleasant to see. In Italy, for example, there are much larger village churches than this one. Some of the decorations are a bit on the edge of the theme park, I hope I have explained myself and not offend anyone. Many services are celebrated in Polish, the Polish community being the largest in Edinburgh. There are also descriptive flyers in Italian. (Original) Cattedrale Cattolica della città. Non è grandissima però è piacevole da vedere. In Italia per esempio ci sono chiese di paese molto più grandi di questa. Alcune delle decorazioni sono un po’ al limite del parco tematico, spero di essermi spiegato e di non offendere nessuno. Vengono celebrate molte funzioni in polacco, la comunità polacca è la più numerosa di Edimburgo. Ci sono flyer descrittivi anche in italiano.

(Translated) Very pretty and interesting. The exterior almost goes unnoticed being in a very new area, but the interior is fantastic. It is very worth it. (Original) Muy bonita e interesante. El exterior casi pasa desapercibido al estar en una zona muy nueva, pero el interior es fantástico. Merece mucho la pena.

(Translated) Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Edinburgh. One of the few Catholic-Polish parishes in Edinburgh. In Scotland, the main religion is Protestantism. In England there is Anglicanism and the head of the church is the Queen, both denominations are maintained by the state treasury. Pastors are on state salaries, temples are publicly funded and renovated, and are owned by the state. Every year, on average, one church is sold and turned into a pub, travel agency, hotel, restaurant. (Original) Katedra Najświętszej Maryi Panny Wniebowziętej w Edynburgu. Jedna z kilku Katolickich- Polskich parafii w Edynburgu. W Szkocji głównym wyznaniem jest protestantyzm. W Anglii panuje anglikanizm i głową kościoła jest królowa, obydwa wyznania są utrzymywane ze skarbu państwa. Pastorowie są na państwowych pensjach, świątynie są opłacane i remontowane ze środków publicznych i należą do państwa. Co roku jest sprzedawany średnio jeden kościół i przerabiany na pub, biuro podróży, hotel, restaurację.

(Translated) I saw mass and luckily saw a pipe organ recital. It felt very similar to Korean Mass, so it was very enjoyable and good. In addition, some elementary school children started the school year with Mass here. It was a great experience. The organ performance in the evening was also fantastic. (Original) 미사도 보고 운좋게 파이프오르간 리사이틀도 보았습니다. 한국 미사와 매우 비슷한 느낌이라 너무 즐겁고 좋았구요. 게다가 어느 초등학교 어린이들 학기 시작을 여기 미사와 함께 하더라구요. 좋은 경험 이었습니다. 저녁에 한 오르간 연주도 환상적 이었습니다.
