Needless to say, I don't have much basis of comparison, but the Church of St. Patrick and St. Anthony is quite a sight to behold. Clearly, downtown Hartford has grown up around this and other churches like it. Long before thousands of fans were worshipping the Whalers across the street at the Civic Center (and apparently not hard enough), local Catholics worshipped Jesus here. I was here for a wedding. Father Tom spoke with incredible poise, and conducted a very nice ceremony. The church itself is impeccably kept. I notice all the reviews so far are 5-star... does Jesus get mad at four-star reviews?

I recently attended a wedding at this cathedral. It is a wonderful combination of beauty and…read morefunction. It is a treat for the eyes and also for the ears with the superb acoustics. No booklets and pamphlets were out today, just the QR codes on the back of the pews. I'll assume they still have those to distribute for older parishioners who might not have or want to use an electronic device. The kneelers are very heavy to move. Since I'm sure the cathedral gets many guests, I'd like to see a few more directional signs - as many of us entered for the wedding, I frequently heard, " Where do I enter?" or "Am I supposed to take the elevator?" But once you get past those things, you'll enjoy the experience.

As a modern cathedral, this one in Hartford is absolutely stunning and is as magnificent as any of the above. I arrived on a weekday and was already impressed by the imposing exterior. Surprisingly, the doors were unlocked and the cathedral is open. Masks are still required in late May. There was no one in the central nave or at the altar. The structure was empty and very quiet. It made for some lovely pictures and afterwards, I took a seat and had a moment of reflection. There is free parking outside and as I mentioned, the building is open. Well worth your time if you're touristing in Hartford. [Review 15184 overall, 686 of 2021, number 36 in Connecticut.]
