I'm going to piggy-back on the comments of the others who have reviewed this to some extent. Having taught for many years, I used to bring my classes here to show them one of the many places in town with which they should be proud. The Tiffany windows are spectacular! Take the test--there is one window that is not Tiffany. See if you can find it. The staff is very helpful and they enjoy tourists, but don't let them tell you the answer before you try finding the window yourself.

Most everything is closed for the Winter in Dubuque. We were there on a Saturday. We parked outside the church wondering if it was open or not. Saw people go in and come out so decided to give it a go. We got lucky. There were people in there, but only because they had just decorated for the next day's Mardi Gras service! We had called the number on the website but go no answer. There doesn't appear to be actual visiting hours, just service times, so it's probably luck of the draw as to whether you get to see this "attraction" or not.They were gracious and offered a quick tour that was greatly appreciated. I don't know much about Tiffany glass but I learned a lot in the short time I was there. We got to be up close and personal with the windows, they were amazing in their color and texture and beauty. I wanted to just sit down for awhile and take it all in.I would definitely take a friend or family there if we were ever in Dubuque again. Definitely worth the stop and worth the short amount of time the tour takes.

Where else can you get this close to nearly 100 Tiffany leaded glass windows? Try to visit during a partly sunny afternoon and watch the colors change in the window over the altar as the clouds and sun move. In the back is an interesting contrast between Tiffany windows and the church's one painted glass window. At the largest windows look closely: see and feel how Tiffany built layers of stained and textured glass to create his effects. The church staff is welcoming and informative. No admission fee, but don't forget to put something into the donation box. Call ahead for when someone will be there to show you around.

This church did not disappoint, with its lovely old Tiffany window, pipe organ, ceiling and friezes. Staff is extremely accommodating, and the gentleman who took us through very knowledgeable.

The guide gave a clear view of the tiffany glass and the history of the church. I don't know where else we would have seen this beautiful art work up close.

This is so beautiful you cannot put it into words. The story behind this church and its windows was told by a lady from the church. She was very helpful and really brought it to life. My husband said he could attend church here everyday ..... that's how inspirining it is!!!

What a beautiful church! We have seen many around the world and this is not to be missed. The Tiffany windows are beautiful and so clean the colors are wonderful. The wood ceiling, pillars, etc are gleaming and beautiful. We are so glad we stopped to see it. One better thing would have been there in the late afternoon when the sun is out to see the light coming through the window behind the alter.

This little church is simply beautiful! Based on other reviews, we decided to check it out and were not disappointed. A friendly volunteer gave us a very informative tour about the history of the church and the Tiffany glass. Be sure to experience the beauty of this place the next time you are in Dubuque.

We visited this little church to see the windows and were not disappointed. We were greeted by a church member who told us of the history of the windows and a quick rundown about each window. We were then allowed to get close to the windows and even touch them. They are amazing, the colours, vibrancy and light of the windows is unbelievable. At night the large window at the front of the church is back lit and shines on Main Street. I would highly recommend these windows, I think it was my favourite visit in Dubuque.

People are beginning to discover the Tiffany glass in the sanctuary so it will not remain hidden for long. We just stopped by the church and the secretary gave us an impromptu presentation on the glass with interesting facts and figures.
