St. Olav's Catholic Cathedral — Attraction in Oslo

Lovely Catholic Church. Was fairly close - walking distance to where ai was staying, so quite convenient to walk there. Was able to attend the 9am English-speaking Mass on Sunday. It's quite amazing to be able to attend any Mass at any Catholic church around the world and to know exactly what the celebration and service is all about.

Masses are offered in many different languages. The schedule was readily available online.

The front door was locked but the signage was easy to read directing you to the opened side entrance.

The church was thankfully warm and attended by families and participants of all ethnicities and backgrounds.

I'm happy I was...

The English language has a veritable treasure trove of beautiful Catholic Hymns. Unfortunately you won't hear any of them at the Sunday 6pm English Mass (in my albeit limited experience). Instead you will hear truly dreadful protestant 'songs' that have no place in a Catholic Church at any time let alone during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It's such a pity as the church itself is...

A lovely visit to St. Olav's Catholic Church in Oslo, Norway. The mass was very busy and there were a few priests assisting during mass who were from Chicago, USA. The church itself both outside and inside is lovely, plenty of seating inside but maybe best to get there 15 mins or so before mass begins to get a seat as it does...
