During an overcast day we thought we'd go and see this church and gift centre area. The church is a marvel! The wood work and stained glass along with the statues is just beautiful. Even my 15-yr old son was awestruck and took pictures inside and outside the church.
The gift store has an incredible selection from jewelry and rosaries to cards, crosses, statues, religious plates, mugs etc. This is the most variety I've ever seen of religious articles. I'll definitely go again next time we're in the Falls.
Nestled at the end of hotel row, high above Horseshoe Falls (Stanley St) sits a historical Carmelite Monestary from the 1800's. The book shop and grounds are open 9-5 daily with daily Mass celebrated at 11:15 in the chapel. The grounds house historic church buildings, chapels and a beautiful shrine for St. Theresa. Easy to walk, sit and pray in this quiet place. Squirrels dash about their business, but that is about the most hustle and bustle you will have in this place. Highly recommend to recharge your spiritual battery while in Niagara Falls.
One can appreciate any house of worship and this one is peaceful. The architecture is wonderful with a carved alter. Small in size yet grand in spirituality..
My only reservation is that there should never be a focus on a gift shop at the expense of the tranquility of the space.
This attraction is worth the visit to explore the grounds of the nearby cemetery and Shrine of Our Lady of Peace as well as the special area devoted to St. Theresa of the Society of the Little Flower. The Spiritual Centre is located in an area attached to an historic monastery and has a wide range of items for purchase as well as scheduled devotional activities.
This is a historic monestary with a convent next door. The Friars are of the Order af Carmelites and they have their chapel dedicated to St. Therese The Little Flower. The stained glass windows are gorgeous as are the wood carvings. There is a very nice gift shop with all kinds of books and beautiful religious gift items. There is a wonderful cemetery and grounds to walk, all historically beautiful.
what a lovely basilica, church is amazing. artwork is unbelievable! what a wonderful feeling being here!!
