I've visited this church twice now. Both times were great! It's a fairly large church, so if you're…read morenew I recommend going up to one of the greeters and saying so. They can point you in the right direction. (This should be easy, as they smile and say some sort of good morning as you walk in. So take your time and stop for a chat! You don't have to rush past.) The people here are lovely, so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with the people around you in the auditorium or find someone wearing a "staff" lanyard if you're looking for more "official" conversation about the church. Note: There's coffee available by donation and water, both at the cafe downstairs and a small station upstairs. You can take it into the auditorium, too. The preaching is solid, as others have mentioned. You can tell that the pastor knows his stuff and is passionate about the Word of God. I love that they give time for response at the end of sermons, which includes the opportunity to take communion. They do have gluten free communion at the front table, which is so nice and not something you see at every church. For those like me, it's much appreciated! The worship is beautiful. I loved seeing the passion on the team's faces. They light up as they sing and play, and it's beautiful. I got chills at one point during worship at the end of service today -- presence of God ushered in. Love it! It's a great church from what I've seen. And my friend who lives here says such good things about it. If you live here, give it a try, and seriously consider getting involved in a community group. They are the best way to get plugged in and make friends. I spent the afternoon with several of my friend's small group members after church and they were all so friendly and welcoming. This church is full of people who truly care about knowing and following Jesus and it shows.

Very convenient for the holiday traveler still wishing to attend mass. We actually went at the beginning of our cruise and at the end. They welcome out of town visitors which I'm sure make up a large portion of the attendees. Another reviewer mentioned that the communion lines are with the people on the sides proceeding to the front to a kneeler and and those entering down the center returning up the same way. Seemed a little congested so we went to the side. Hadn't received communion on a kneeler in over 30 years! There are a couple of homeless with their hats out before and after mass. This is not unusual as you are in the heart of a heavily populated city. The congregation is diverse and it's interesting to see so many Chinese at a Catholic mass...but it's Vancouver after all! Aided by great acoustics in this cathedral, the choir was fantastic.

Surely, the Church isn't paying out of donations as a bonus. Clearing this up would go a long way to providing confidence with attendees.
