Beautiful stained glass windows. Prominent site overlooking St. John's - some nice views from up there. Lovely grounds and prayer garden. Statues outside are quite nice. You can do a quick tour or stay and examine the artifacts and displays.

Probably the most beautiful church I've ever been to. The architecture and stained glass are amazing. The view from the location o the church is also great as it overlooks the whole city. A must see

This Basilica is truly beautiful, and is filled with interesting artifacts and historical displays. Location is close to the Rooms and other St. John's attractions. You can spend a little or a lot of time, depending on your interest level.

This building is prominent on the St. John’s skyline rivalled only in recent years by The Rooms Museum. You do not have to Catholic to have an appreciation of the stature of the Basilica in terms of architecture, but also in terms spiritual and social significance. A quiet tour of the interior reveals ornate decor and beautiful stained glass. If you are touring such prominent historical churches, be sure to visit St. John the Baptist Anglican Cathedral as well as it is nearby.

It's big, but not super pretty. Easily beaten by St John's Anglican Cathedral just down the hill. If you're out for a walk to see St John's many churches (who knew there were so many!), then it's not far out of your way, but if you're pressed for time it can certainly be skipped in favour of the Cathedral.
