Was sad and depressed just before I went there. First I was amazed by the architecture from outside and inside I cried and prayed and stood there for a while.. My mind was distorted and I came out with huge relief. I believe and trust mother and Ill go again till I can.God bless everyone and wish peace everywhere.✝️☮️

This is probably the most beautiful buildings in the area and being a catholic church, I was very happy that it was open during the day.You can freely enter the building, take pictures, admire the view or pray, without any issues.It is very interesting how, despite that it’s on a very busy junction, when you enter the building it’s like you enter a different realm, everything changes – the sound, the light And what I particularly like about churches, the air! You can probably get a good idea of the look of the place from the pictures and videos online but that has nothing to do with being there.I highly recommend.Unfortunately, there is no car park around the park for free, but if you are planning a visit to Cambridge, I believe it’s worth it to park at the nearest paid car park which is Queen Anne Terrace car Park.

The more Churches I visit the more I see the Hansom name pop up . It would appear that the Hansom clans works are almost as prolific and just as impressive as the Gilbert Scotts . And this is yet another with the family brand on it forever . Edward Joseph Hansom was the architect of this one in partnership with A M Dunn and what a work of art it is .Sadly I have just read that like Gilbert Scotts son who designed the Catholic Cathedral in Norwich both came to a tragic end . So sad this is so often the case . Two men who through their work are still bringing emense pleasure to a nobody like me a 100 years later should end like this . R.I.P. the pair of you .Needless to say this is a beautiful church anybody visiting Cambridge today will be familiar with it .I have lost my thread now but please visit and find it in your heart to say a prayer for the architect .

Went during Christmas and it had a really serene/peaceful atmosphere. They were also well prepared in terms of COVID-19 protection and felt clean there despite it being really crowded. Its a beautiful church and the mass was really nice. The priest was also very friendly as well. The lights and reflecting glass made the place glow up. Was a calming experience overal!

Beautiful ARCHITECTURE plus an unexpected working CLOCK and also inside PAINTINGS which not only denote good art but help prayer and make the place solemn by elevating the spirit.Moreover, the priests are good preachers and it seems they celebrate mass with devotion and love for the people who attend. Very Friendly and available for confession even after hours when possibleMany people to the daily mass.

A beautiful and surprising oasis of calm on a busy junction. Well worth dropping by to say a prayer, light a candle and remember the martyrs of the past and those in places unfashionable to our woke culture who are being martyred day by day.Thank you for keeping the church door open, when so many are closed.

Visited in July 2020, everybody was wearing a mask, everybody was sensible and kept a good distance but no area was sealed off with hideous-looking tape, so it all felt quite normal. No singing during Mass, of course, but organ music.Overall, as normal as possible. I recommend attending Mass here if you can (its always worth doing that, if course but the atmosphere is as close to normal as you can have it right now).

Neo-gothic Catholic church, an impressive sight that dominates southern Cambridge before you get into Cambridge proper. Would highly recommend having a look around, the architecture is superb.Mass times are available on the website and are frequent. Confessions are daily I believe.

It is an old and interesting church. By the way during my visit it was in a state of refurbishment so I couldnt enjoy the visit. It looks a bit abandoned to be honest and they could do much more to make it appear better. Anyway the entrance is free and if you are passing by it you should get inside to have a look.

Beautiful church. As an American, there are several Saints with which I am unfamiliar - but a beautiful witness to the faith and the universality of the Church.

This is a one of the most beautiful churches Ive been to. The best thing about this church is the pin drop slience inside the church. I usually drop in after 6pm when no one is there. The peace that I get from here is never obtained from anywhere else.Praise the Lord 🙏
