church of our lady immaculate

We returned for mass today -- the first time after a very, very long removation -- and the church is even more beautiful than it was in the past. And much brighter.Also, it has recently been named a Basilica. Well worth a visit.

This church, now a basilica, is Guelph's most prominent landmark. From most any direction you come to the city you see the twin towers and say "there's Guelph". "Catholic hill" also is home to the Guelph Civic Museum. Both the church and the museum deserve a visit.

This is a historic church with beautiful paintings inside and has been under construction much of 2014, however is now open.

Truly a historic gem in Guelph. Much to see and the museum beside it is beginning to take off. The acoustics are sublime. Really worth attending a service. The pillars and stained glass are quite breathtaking.

The Basilica of Our Lady sits high atop Guelph at the end of MacDonnell Street which was named for the Bishop from Easten Ontario who knew John Galt so well that he was given the best land in all the countryside with which to build his church. And so he did, and after many changes, and just having been named a Basilica by Pope Francis, this makes tic architectural gem is a must see if you are visiting Guelph. I stopped in one morning before all the recent renovations, and was treated to a booming organ practice which tested the structure for soundness. This is a wonderful building with a soul you can feel when you enter the church. It overlooks Guelph like a beacon and seems to shout out "Here I am, come on up." You can spot it from all corners of this old city and it would be shame to visit phelps and forgo the opportunity to visit one of the mainstays of this wonderful city.

This is an amazing and beautiful church. It is absolutely the centerpiece of downtown Guelph. A beautiful church with a unique statue at the front. Worth a visit, perhaps even three or four.

Check out the amazing history here, the architecture is splendid. Perfect for Guelph. Easy to get to and worth the long looks. Bring a camera.

tried to visit this absolutely beautiful and towering church on a hill above downtown Guelph but the doors were closed with signs about renovations. When I asked locals, they said they didn't know when it was going to reopen. Perhaps it is open on weekends only? Massive.

The Church of Our Lady is not a cathedral, but it is a magnificent Gothic church. It dominates central Guelph from the top of the city's highest drumlin and is well worth a visit. The interior and exterior have been renovated recently and are lovely. The view from the grounds is one of the best in the city.

A must see when visiting Guelph - with a beautiful view of the downtown area. It has been recently restored. Large, beautiful stained glass windows with massive columns inside. It sits atop a hill and can be seem from virtually anywhere in the city.

A stunning church at the top of the hill, the surrounding buildings are reminiscent of old England. Lovely people and beautiful architecture. You would be forgiven to think you were in Europe.

The church stands high on a hill and you can't help but notice it. We had to stop and take a photo of it. It is so majestic and beautiful.

Our Lady Church is unique for this area. It was built in the European design. I am glad that restoration is being done to it. Once completed I hope that it will still have the old world feel. This is a must vist.

This is a fabulous church but under renovations through 2014. At various times during the year, there will be scaffolding inside the church. During the weekdays, it is completely closed. Currently, interior walls are being repainted and the paintings and murals throughout the church are being cleaned and restored. So, this is not the year to visit.

Such an amazing Church. Great priests, and an amazing architectural palace. Definitely stop in if you're Catholic.
