Went for confession there for the first time (updating the review - the initial one was pre Covid).
It is beautiful in a modern way, I'll say that.
But I really don't like it and I know that's a personal preference. There are so many Gothic churches in the area and I suppose I prefer that glorious old world beauty. I'm a millennial so take what you want from that perspective.
But being here just for half an hour reminded me of my many reasons only going to the Latin Mass (TLM at St. Kateri in Irondequoit).
The blatant irreverence shown by people there.
No genuflecting. Backs turned to the altar. Etc etc etc. There was a wedding practice going on. Why get married in a church if you don't even acknowledge Christ's presence?
Modesty
Would you wear a bodycon dress to court? Then don't wear that to a church. It's not hard to not wear ultra short or tight clothing.
No one corrected the behavior
The entire wedding party was loud and irreverent even before the altar and the people there who were obviously there to pray. And I, along with so many were there for confession, again, obviously praying. They had no regard for anyone else and again, priest did nothing.
I get it. Its exciting. But its the house of God.
The altar weirded me out.
It's not at all focused on the Blessed Sacrament. What is the point of a church if Christ isn't the focal point??
All of this to say I'm sure things are different with the Bishop there or maybe even during Mass, but in my limited experience so far, I suppose it just left me...

it's still impressive.And the Bishop was inspiring. It's obviously an older bldg in need of some attention. At the top of the ceiling is a big gorgeous arc. Missing 2 of it's many lightbulbs. Sad The seats were full of confirmation candidates from 5 diocese Catholic schools, sponsors, and relatives...but the church seemed smaller than when I was a kid.....how can that be. But the most important part was perfect,.the 14 to 16 yr olds, prepped to dedicate Their lives to loving their Saviour, Jesus Christ.....The fact that our grandson.RJ was in that historic cathedral , a sentry to his faith was absolutely amazing ...we were so happy and so proud.I pray that YOU will bless these young people,dear Lord, and keep them safe from all harm as they forge ahead into adulthood. When times are tough and they are faced with choices please let them choose the path that most...

I was born into this church in 1943. I attended the Catholic school. I moved away when I was 20. I recently came back for a visit. I was never so amazed at the way the church building has changed. I often wondered who came up with a stupid idea to change the sweet feeling, of the inside of this church? No more pews, but what amounts to padded folding chairs. Poor Bishop Hogan must be rolling around in his grave. And the cost of all this utter ugliness, must have been out of site. And yet you couldn't keep the school open. I know deep in my heart that there are many others who feel this way. The newer families didn't know what was given up. The priest that decided to change this beautiful church, probably isn't even there anymoe. Probably off trying to change other churches. If, he is still there, you should feel...
