When last in Boston, there were renovations being done to the interior. There were no tours or services at the time, but there were windows made available to look in and get a glimpse. I promised myself that when I returned to Boston, that I would visit the Church for a service. The service was beautiful and it was completely packed. I am afraid that during the service, I could not help but take in every detail of the interior. Of course, I didn't feel like I should take any photos at that time (my next visit). Take some time to visit this physical testimony built to God when you are in Boston.

This Episcopalian church is an American architectural gem and National Historical Landmark. You have to pay a $10 entrance fee to view the interior, but it's worth the expense if you enjoy history, art, or architecture. Alternatively, you can skip the interior and visit the Boston Public Library instead (which has no admission fee). Completed in 1877, Trinity Church is an architectural masterpiece of Henry Richardson who pioneered the "Richardsonian Romanesque" style of clay tile roofs, colorful interiors, and stone-faced exteriors with arches. You can see examples of this building design in Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, and Albany, NY. The interior has magnificent stained glass windows and a unique colorful design. One interesting fact from the Self-Guided tour booklet is that Boston's Back Bay was originally a tidal mud flat. So the heavy stone of Trinity Church rests on 4,500 wooden piles, which were pounded through 30 feet of gravel fill, silt, and clay.

My roommate played that game in college almost 30 years ago. Lets just say there are some surprises about what the woman learns about her sister and herself It is also very funny, somewhat sad at times and thought provoking throughout. This is a result of the script being well written(by a man, no less) and extremely well acted by the entire cast I do not normally go to plays or theater in general, but Company One just may change my mind.....Highly recommended

Though it is always pretty crowded, they offer several mass times and if it works with your schedule, I would HIGHLY recommend attending when Fr. John Unni is leading the mass! (You can find all that information in the mass information on their website). Father John is the absolute best and consistently delivers homilies with meaning, reflection, and challenges us all to think more and be better, whether you are Catholic, Christian, or just spiritual, you will definitely have a deep reflection and takeaway from his message. He and the parish are also extremely inclusive and welcoming to all people, much more than you might expect to find from some Catholic churches! My only warning is that if you are looking for a quick in-and-out service that is under an hour, this probably isn't the best bet for you. It's safer to budget about 1.5 hours for mass here, but believe me when I say that hearing Father John's homily (and he is first in line to make fun of himself for talking too much!) is well worth it!!! The choir is also always full of great talent and a shifting medley of instruments as well. As a bonus, they usually have some coffee and pastries downstairs afterwards, so nothing to fret about if you miss your brunch plans!

Reality sends out some nice emails to keep you involved too. I believe this is a beautiful community, maybe just not for me!

The daylight outside illuminates the interior through the windows so that the beautiful imagery lighting above surrounds the gathered congregation. (See pictures). The church is a historic landmark which is quite unique and relatively off the visitors map.

This is the national headquarters of my favorite holy order in the Catholic Church, The Oblates of the Virgin Mary (OMV). They have a strong devotion to the exposition of the Holy Eucharist. For those of you that don't know what that means it's when literally a communion wafer is enshrined in something called a monstrance and it is set on the alter and the faithful adore it with song, prayer, or mostly just silence and reverence. Perpetual adoration takes place here, I believe, meaning the Host is always exposed (except during the sacrifice of the mass). For people into Ignatian Catholic meditation it's a great place to do your daily holy hour. Since I'm from California this place looks like Sleeping Beauty's Castle but I'm sure even to someone used to beautiful old buildings this structure is exceptional. The seminary where the Oblates get their remarkable devout formation is next door so this place should be on your list of "must sees" for Boston if you are a Catholic, or interested in what makes Catholics tick.

The Church itself is gothic style with large stone pillars (which obscure the view from some pew seats), and has an openness that doesn't take away from the warmth of the environment. Parishioners range in age from young to old, and there seems to be a large college-aged community. The location is also great, although parking can get tricky and the meter-maids will not hesitate to tow you from a residential spot, even though you are at Church ;)
