    This is one of the most beautiful, tranquil and welcoming places in town. Walk the labyrinth anytime you need to quietly reflect or simply escape the frenzied pace of life. Read more

    There are so many reasons to visit Grace Cathedral that it’s hard to count them all. Walking the cathedral’s replica of the Chartres Cathedral labyrinth in France is a spiritual act. Read more

    It's one of those less well known tourist spots worth visiting - the music, stories, architecture all worked very nicely.

    Don't let the facade fool you, Grace strongly embraces GLBTQ peeps, agnostics and atheists. See the Keith Haring altarpiece and AIDS memorial quilt in the interfaith chapel by the front doors.

    It's looks really nice from the outside. It's ok in the inside. I was expecting something similar to the ones in Europe. But it's not.
